General relativity and quantum mechanics break down at the singularity, we only know what happened in the 'second moment' of the initial expansion, not what preceded. We don't know how long the singularity was there before it expanded, whether it had ever expanded previously (it could be an eternal singularity that cycles through expansion and collapse), or whether it appeared out of the quantum foam.
Virtual particles and atomic decay are effects without causes and have been observed. Their behavior can be predicted statistically but it's impossible to predict when a given atom will decay or virtual particle pair appear because they are things that just happen. The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle requires virtual particles to appear randomly and causelesly (because it is impossible to know the exact position and momentum of a particle simultaneously and position and momentum both being zero would be knowing where a particle does not exist and how it's not moving simultaneously) and that is what our instruments observe.
