One can speculate much about "Before" questions. I have a book about the oscillating universe that says there is a series of "Big Bangs", i.e. the Primeval Atom explodes, and things rush apart. Eventually, there's a "Big Crunch" as it begins contracting into a Primeval Atom again. The damped oscillating universe theory has each bang weaker than the one before, so that eventually, there are no further Big Bangs. Some theories say time began with the Big Bang, so nothing existed before the Big Bang. Someone tries to bring God into this, but Genesis creation is quite inaccurate scientifically. Who created God? Who created God's creator? Who created the creator of God's creator. Such illogic gets us nowhere. Let us apply Ockham's Razor and use Science, not Mythology, here.

Mass.
Science firmly states the Mass of the universe is constant, before the start of the current universe, after the start and when it ends.
One day all the stars will burn out. On that day they'll be chuncks of dead matter, energy flying about which has mass and in theory it all eventully starts again.
Matter from the stars goes through chemical reactions and in the process energy is released into space and that energy goes on forever.
That's at least one theory.
And if no one created God, then WHO created all the MASS in the Universe. Without MASS there can be no Big Bang.
If that is the case then TIME beings with the first arrival of an electron or positron, for that is the starting point of the universe.
But where did that electron arrive from!
Some say inert white and black mass, which always existed in the universe started releaseing it due to friction and mass attraction.
But where did this mass come from.
How do you make a Universe out of nothing. Absolutely nothing. No particles of nothing. No mass. No Energey. How does the Universe start.
The only other solution is there are paraelell universes and things like Neutrinos passed from one "cell membrane" to another to create the mass.
Science can't solve the Chicken or the Egg problem adqueately, that's why there is religion.
If there is a God and we do go to heaven, maybe you can ask God who created him or what God's explainatain is for God's existance. Not that you or I would probably understand the explaination, considering most people don't fully undestand Relativity.
How come no one addresses the Steady State theory, did they drop that one. When I went to school it was another accepted theory of the Universe. If I'm not mistken Fred Hoyle was into that one!

According to Hawking, that question is essentially unanswerable since the big bang started as a singularity. Within the boundaries of a singularity, all known laws of physics breakdown, and there is no dimension of time.
Thus the question will only be addressed by perpetual speculation.
In my opinion, the singularity represents a phase transition point, and the universe was there, but not in a form we would understand.

Only God existed before the big bang. And then he decided to create this universe and other. And this creation started with a big bang.

The question makes not sense because the concept of "time" is an artificial construction of we humans. "Before the Big Bang" does not exist because Time was created WITH the Big Bang.

What existed before the Big Bang? No one knows and we can only guess.
Whatever your theory is it would be as good as anyone else's.

Absolutely nothing. A big black vaccuum.
It's impossible for our human brains to comprehend an infinite amount of nothing, but that's what it was.
Unless of course, when man gets to the edge of the universe we'll discover that we're in a cardboard box at the bottom of someone's cupboard.

The Big Bang hypothesis is not true.
Before God created the universe there was just him.

A black hole with the remains of the previous universe and when the big bang occured it created a perfect duplicate of the previous universe.de ja vue
