It is not claimed that it started as nothing, from what you posted I now understand it is believed to have started as something extremely small that existed in it's smallness for all the time prior to the bang and then just "banged" with no cause.

No.
You're still strawmanning what happened before the big bang. We don't know anything about the state of anything prior to that, and so it would be intellectually dishonest to claim that we know anything about it's causality.
My point exactly.
