Seems like it is settled science that the big bang did occur. But where exactly did it happen - the exact location of the creation moment. Does science know this?

Right here. And right over there. And WAAAAAY over there.
At the big bang, not only was all matter compressed into one infinitely tiny point, but all of space was likewise compressed into one infinitely tiny point. So at the moment of the big bang every place was the same place. So there was no "where" about it. Or, alternately, it happened EVERYwhere all at once - because every "where" was "there."

Exactly halfway between your ears. The Universe came into existence 13.6 billion years ago everywhere at once. Its just that at the beginning everywhere was at the same place everywhere else at the same time. Weird huh!

The universe started at point zero and expanded from there.
The time vector of space-time may be the clue.

Everywhere. The universe all happened at once. It's just been expanding ever since.

I think Al Gore invented it...

I think it was the center, where the sun is.
