As to what happened before (if anything) and how it started, the answer is "Nobody knows, but there are some hints and hypotheses". The validity of big bang cosmology comes from a plethora of observations confirming it. That we don't know everything about it or how exactly it got started doesn't negate that. It's not like "they" win and the science is invalid because there are still open questions. That's the whole point of science, there are always open questions at the fringes of understanding.
Even if we knew the physical mechanism how the big bang got started, you can always shoehorn your God in there, too. God is a useless hypothesis, but that doesn't mean science proves that there is no God.
