"BIG BANG THEORY" is one of the largely accepted probability for the birth of our universe. But what would have been the situation before the big bang took place?
What substance/what matter was there which eventually caused "big bang"?
If there was anything then, how long was it there ?

We don't know for certain but some theories say that the big bang came from either: sheer nothingness where not even time existed (so when time popped up, so did the big bang), another universe before this one which went through the opposite of a big bang (a big crunch) or from a universe in a higher dimension (and is still inside that universe). The latter would be to say a plane with one more spatial dimension than ours (ours is 3D: width, length, height. The other would be 4D: width, length, height, and a fourth thing we can't imagine because we've never been there). How exactly our 3D universe popped up from a 4D universe I don't know.

Your question is a valid one as everything, and I mean everything---including evolution---finds its beginning in the aftermath of the big-bang. The big-bang ultimately gave rise to all forms of matter, energy, and information---including life. Einstein's General Theory of Relativity along with something called Quantum Mechanics when properly combine into a unified theory of all forces in the universe---perhaps super string theory or quantum-loop-gravity, will tell us what happen prior to the singularity itself. The answers to the universe is in the math and physics. Physics and mathematics is the underlying foundation of all other sciences.

There is absolutely no reason to ask this quesion in the Biology section ....
... unless you are equating the Big Bang theory with the theory of evolution. If so, then please understand that these are completely different theories that address completely different questions. The Big Bang theory is about the origins of the universe, evolution is about the origins of modern species from the first molecular life forms (but does NOT address the origin of life).
So I would ask this in the Astronomy & Space section, or the General Science sections.
But to answer your question, since the Big Bang theory is about the origins of the matter and energy in the universe itself, and in fact origin of time itself, asking what it was like "before" the Big Bang, is like asking what is "north of the north pole", or what is "colder than absolute zero". The question itself has no meaning.

Why do you ask the same question twice? Please look-up answers and don't waste my time.
