What is "FAITH"

[Bad Writer]

Hey we're all real, down to earth and rational here Mr party! :p

If we're calling the big bang the starting point, and assuming with the majority of scientists (because I just read that on Wikipedia :p) that this is the most likely scenario (although nothing is set in stone), then we also assume that time didn't exist before this point. There's no count down below zero (multiple universes accepted, which only postpones the singularity to an earlier time/ or repeats it, take your pick.)
As a time constrained being, how could you exist before time?

I suppose it's the same way anything could exist before this event called the Big Bang. We don't know what happened before, so all we can do is speculate.

How do you know that time didn't pass prior to the Big Bang? Say...in the great big nothingness void of empty black, couldn't there have been an actual countdown to the event? Sure, there was no one there to count it. I'm just not too keen on saying with absolute certainty that there was no time before the beginning of the universe. There is no way anyone could know that for certain. That's not too unreasonable of me to say that, is it?

Everything that happens in our universe has a cause. Our understanding of cause and effect comes from every single one of our experiences on this planet, and everywhere else in our universe.
How, then, can the vessel of all cause and effect itself not follow the laws of cause and effect?

How about you answer your own question this time since history has shown that you are not okay with anyone else's?
