I suppose there was no matter before big bang. In fact big bang could occur only while there was matter no matter it may be of atomic size. How is that the atomic size matter present?

Yes there was Matter before the big bang, The Matter is what Banged.
mat·ter (mătər)
n.
1.
a. Something that occupies space and can be perceived by one or more senses; a physical body, a physical substance, or the universe as a whole.
b. Physics Something that has mass and exists as a solid, liquid, gas, or plasma.
The Big Bang is the cosmological model of the universe whose primary assertion is that the universe has expanded into its current state from a primordial condition of enormous density and temperature.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bang
In physics, density is mass m per unit volume V—how heavy something is compared to its size. A small, heavy object, such as a rock or a lump of lead, is denser than a lighter object of the same size or a larger object of the same weight, such as pieces of foam.
For the common case of a homogeneous substance, density is expressed as:
where, in SI units:
ρ (rho) is the density of the substance, measured in kg·m-3
m is the mass of the substance, measured in kg
V is the volume of the substance, measured in m3

Matter is really just a form of energy. Energy existed before the Big Bang, but not in the form of matter we see today.
The best current hypothesis for the state of the universe at the time of the Big Bang is based on string theory. Here it is:
The universe really contains 10 dimensions. Today, we only see four of them. These four are commonly referred to as length, width, height, and time. The first three are now so enormous that light can travel across them for billions of years without being stopped. Time is also vast because the Big Bang happened more than 13 billion years ago and there is no evidence that the universe will not survive for billions more.
Today, the remaining six dimensions are so tiny that not even an atom of hydrogen has wiggle room in them.
The moment of the Big Bang is thought to be the instant when the ten dimensions split into their current configuration. Before that moment, they are thought to have all been equal in size. As the six dimensions contracted and the four we see today expanded, an enormous amount of energy was forced into the four large dimensions.
Since you may have a problem visuallizing what I am talking about, here is something similar, but simpler. If you take an inflated balloon and squeeze the sides, the width of the balloon will shrink. As it does, the length and height will expand as the air (energy) is forced from the dimension of width into the dimensions of length and height.
The Big Bang worked the same way that a balloon does when it is squeezed. The energy of the six dimensions which shrank was forced into the four which expanded. The instant when this began to happen was the Big Bang.
After the Big Bang, there was so much energy contained in such a small space that atoms did not exist. Atoms have protons and neutrons in a nucleus with electrons hovering around them. With all the energy the particles had immediately after the Big Bang, they could not stick together in atoms. In fact, protons and neutrons are both formed of smaller components which also had too much energy to stick together.
A few minutes after the Big Bang, the universe had cooled sufficiently for protons and neutrons to form. It then took another 380,000 years before the protons, neutrons, and electrons finally formed into atoms.

Science can retrace what happened back to the first few seconds after the Big Bang started, nobody has yet penetrated beyond the Big Bang so nobody has information on what was before the Big Bang yet.

There was not even matter after the big bang - at least not at first. Initially the temperature was far too high for matter to condense. Symmetry breaking allowed matter fto form as the universe expanded and cooled.

Yes there was. Matter and energy are eternal. Matter was just "shifted around" by the big bang.

Yes, there was matter before the big bang. A big implosion, then a big bang . .

If general relativity is correct, then there was no space-time "before" the big bang. What does before even mean when there is no time?

Nothing is created and nothing can be destroyed, that's why there was surely matter before the big bang imho.
But for a religius it's easier to believe that God created all suddenly, lol!

after a good big bang it doesn't really matter at all.

They have now refuted the big ban story. I wish the scientists would tell us what they are now propounding. Or trying to come up with. First it was an ape, then a fish that crawled out of the sea and grew legs, then it was the big bang, then rain on rocks which became soup where a molecule turned live and grew into us, so they were trying to tell us we came from soup. But they could not explain how the rocks got there, or how the rain came down.
It doesn't matter, God created everything.
