no space, no time, just a singularity of energy and matter

What a fascinating question. I think the scientists really "don't" know, because they created this "Big Bang Theory" which cannot explain what happeneds "before" the big bang. I think scientists should reconsider the "Steady State Theory" (ie. the Universe has always existed and always will !), as it eliminates the problems of what existed before the big bang. The steady state theory might seem like an easy way out of a very difficult situation, but at least it is a genuine theory which should be considered seriously !

Let me ask you this, what is North of the North pole? What is greener than the color green? What is more powerful than the most powerful thing in the Universe? None of these questions make sense, do they?
Space and time began at the moment of the big bang. Therefore, without time existing there can be no "before". There was no universe and no space and no time and no "before the big bang". The moment that singularity exploded into space/time reality is when everything we know of started, and to try to speculate what was "before everything started" is undefinable!

I'm no scientist, but if I understand the theory, there wasn't a universe before the big bang. Isn't that how the scientists think everything was created?

it didn't exist. The universe didn't form until a blackhole from another 'parent' universe split away like a drop of water from a moist surface. At the very instant the black hole seperated a big bang occured as there would instantly be zero gravity to hold the singularity together.
As the singularity fragmented gravity started to form when seperate masses in the new universe formed.

The Big Bang was the beginning of the universe, so there was no before. You might as well ask what you were doing a year before you were born.

well actually big bangs happen in space at least three times a day as far as we can tell from earth but it is not the birth of a universe just a galaxy in fact no one really knows how the universe began just a lot of theories

Well, part the idea of the big bang was that it IS the beginning, and there really wasn't anything before it. Some say that space was empty and the big bang was caused by a particularly powerful quantum fluctuation.

it is an intresting question and one with no answer...try to follow
there are many whom believe in the multiverse theories, and etc.
some of these state that other universes spawned from other universes, some universes begin when others end.
i believe that we are not the first and wont be last universe, sort of like the matrix.
there are some who believe that our universe is just a piece of a large atom, which makes something larger(thats more sci-fi though)

actlually i think the scientists tink that before th ebig bang there was absolutley nithing but a single atom

No one even has a theory about that yet. Give it a few years.
