why is there no before the big bang? I can honestly say I have no grasp of the math involved in the theory I have never been able to understand the stance of there being nothing before the event.

If there is nothing you don't even have space.

Here is something to really ponder on, if God exists, does he have a naval? (as in belly button)

that is what is known as an absolute vacuum. an absolute vacuum can be found inside the Sun. the plasma around it has hit essentially the event horizon and is being pulled into the vacuum but can't actually get inside the vacuum because then it wouldn't be an absolute vacuum. space with no volume is an absolute vacuum.

I still can't get my head round nothing and forever.
In my mind there has to be something to create something, if there is nothing then something can't exist.....so even if there was just empty space to begin with, where did that empty space come from? There can't have just been nothing.
When did time begin (not time as in the man made concept of measurement)? What was there to create time?
It's stuff like this that makes me believe in God...or at least a creator....but then who created the creator, surely they weren't around forever as everything has a beginning right?
AAAARRRRGGHHHHH!

Exactly. So there was never Not a Universe and never a Non-Time.

Since super-position exists, what if The Big Bang is in a super-position of the first moment of the past to exist and the last moment of the future, and all of time is contained between those two moments all captured Now within The Singularity.
If before The Big Bang, there was no time or space just a Singularity of all Energy/Light, then that Singulariy still exists now (since it was "before" time and therefore beyond it).
