What is this "nothing" you speak of?
How do you know there was nothing "before" the big bang?
How do you know there was a "before" the big bang, if the big bang gave rise to space-time itself?
If there's no "before", then how was there "nothing"?
Just putting out there what seems to be the commonly held opinion? Is it yours?

Because you routinely start with a faulty premise.
Let's look at the first sentence from your OP.
Quote:The two commonly held opinions are “from nothing, God created everything” and “from nothing, the Big Bang created everything”.
Your error with respect to cosmology starts with "from nothing". Everything beyond that point was self-important hogwash based on your flawed understanding of what the theory claims.
Hint: The BB theory doesn't claim anything came from "nothing" - and in fact, "nothing" may not be a possible state according to quantum mechanics - in any case, *nobody*, not even Lawrence Krauss (who is known for his "universe from nothing" hypothesis), claims that there was literally *nothing*.
I agree with you. I was not arguing in support of the statements. I was pointing out that "truth" in public opinion seems to have less than solid foundation. If you are not interested in discussing that, you don't have to.
