The big bang has been dated to about 13.7 billion years ago.

What was there before? Was there anything before? Does a "before" make sense?
- To all, "I don't know" is the most honest response.

The often claimed age of the Universe reports to the length of time since the big bang... not necessarily the actual age of the Universe.
