The summary of my question is..I can't imagine a space without space...!!

There was a black hole that was sucking up everything in the universe. Now, when black holes bring things in, they get smaller, and more powerful. So the black hole got so powerful that it sucked up itself and exploded. :D
(at least, thats the scientific explanation.)

May be there wasnt a premordial atom. Just because the formula of singularity indicates it ,doesnt mean it existed as such.The Universe could have come into being by another way or method.
Space does not really exist with out space=that is a very intuitive postulate.
If the Universe is compared to a loaf of bread;than we have to assume that it took flour and water to make the dough.
Then to become bread you need a Baker who would uses a baking process. The baking time would depend on the temperature used in the baking. The components of the bread have now expended into a large volume,where before they were minute volumes compared to the baked bread.
So we can compare the formation of the Universe in a similar way.The space in the bread is air and it is not a vacuum.
So masses are structured in a similar way. There is a lot of space between the electron and the proton in an hydrogen atom.This space is not empty because it make up the volume of the atom just like the loaf of bread.

The notions of "time", "space" and "matter" had no meaning whatsoever 'before' the Big Bang, there simply was no 'before'.
Though it is hard to imagine what 'nothing' was like, because we live in a world created by our sensations of 'something', try thinking about it in terms of your own life; where were "you" a few years before you were born? Obviously you weren't, and there is no need to create a "physical space" for that 'not-you' to exist in, is there?
So it is with this universe...

It is crazy isn't it? But there wasn't just one atom, it was undifferentiated energy. The compression and heat was too much for particles to exist. After the 'bang' the fundamental forces were separated and particles were formed.
As for "where" it was, in a certain sense, we are still in that cosmic egg. Imagine if this egg doubled it's size, what did it expand into? We have no physics to explain it. If it grew in size by billions of times (as it is now), we still can't explain what it's expanding into. Our physics simply break down there. Much less our ability to visualize it.

I don't think anyone can.
I suppose the two theories are
1) A void with some type of singularlity
2) The entire universe was the singularity

You can have space without space if you also don't have time.

No one knows. There is no scientific evidence about it.
If you want to say it was a higher power, nothing in science contradicts you.

I don't know where it was then, but at the moment it is in the bottom of my cutlery drawer, threatening the spoons.

no one knows, and they won't for quite a while, if ever.
