There was no 'before' the big bang. Time did not exist.
We don't, and can't, know that to be fair.
Did the big bang come from a singularity or from a big crunch of a previous universe? Or something else? No way of knowing is there.

Consciousness I don't think can be re-incarnated - well I'm pretty much as sure as I can be - because it's obviously a function of a living brain. So I'm in agreement that once the lights go out, it's oblivion for ever.
The bigger question for me is why do I experience my consciousness and nobody else's? Why am I me? There are billions of consciousnesses right now and will continue to be...maybe I'll experience another one just like I'm experiencing this one, once this consciousness ends?
Except it wouldn't be me, obviously.
Oh I dunno
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
