That is not necessarily true. It may by that the ‘Big Bang’ was preceded by a universe collapsing in upon itself and then exploding outward (the Big Bang). Then gravity eventually draws everything in upon itself again, and the whole exploding-expanding then-collapsing cycle will repeat again.
Of course we do not know because modern Physics takes us back to the instant after the Big Bang, but not before.
Was there ever nothing? Who knows?
You question poses a problem for religions as well. What was there before God existed? Even if something could last forever, it still has to begin somewhere, and there has to be something before if began, or there would be nowhere it could come from. So, there must have been something before God. But if there was something before God, then God has not always existed. Well … you see the problem here... this just goes on-and-on-and-on…

I think the only correct answer is: we do not know.
everything else is either an educated or uneducated guess.
unless you are a witness to the actual event then you cannot posit what can occur. we don't even fully understand how we as humans function so there is no way we could comprehend such a thing.
I think it's the ultimate hubris of humankind to think that we possess the ability to decipher what has gone on before our very existence.

You are correct - apparently, from nothing came the inconceivable vastness and incomprehensible energy of our universe.
And if someone gives you a valid answer to this question (one that is not based on religion), you will be enlightened and more knowlegable than any other human being since the beginning of time!

Obviously this is possible if we are here. What is the point of trying to figure this out, and asking these questions if there is nothing we can do about it anyway.

Hi. If the theory is correct, all of what we now observe came from the ENERGY of the original explosion, not from nothing.

Not from "nothing" necessarily, but certainly from "something" we don't understand.
