The Big Bang wasn't an explosion, it was an expansion of time and space.
We honestly don't know where the matter and energy to create the singularity and our Universe came from and we don't know what caused the Big Bang. Science is okay with not knowing, even thrilled by it at times, mysteries are part of what gives life meaning.

I don't know. It doesn't make much sense to the way we humans currently understand things. One thing seems obvious, the stuff that went into the singularity already existed before the Big Bang.
Where did all that energy come from? We don't know. Did it come from nothing? I have my doubts but science doesn't know so right now it as much a subject for philosophy as it is for science.
I think my question would be: Can there even be Nothing?
You know how darkness is just the absence of light right, well Nothing is the absence of things but where does that exist? Even SPACE, as empty as it seems, is filled with particles and photons (and of course all the other forms of matter and energy).
Science thus far has only tracked it back to the Big Bang, as far as we know it was never NOTHING and there's always been something... but who knows what discoveries the future might hold
