If our "time" started at the singularity how can we ever look at things before time? It's a non issue for me but the religious sure love it/hate it. 

Kinda of disappointed. Thought this would be christmas presentism.

You're free to ignore the problems, but it doesn't mean the problems aren't there. In addition to my previous response, I'm not even talking about just "our time" anyway (there is extremely likely more to this reality than just this local universe). I'm talking more metaphysical time than anything else, whatever it may be. You know, that thing that is inevitable when any sort of change occurs.
