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. Am I correct now?

The only one who has said that the big bang came from nothing has been you.
There's a huge difference between saying we don't know what was before the big bang and saying that there was nothing before the big bang.
This is just god of the gaps, folks. He's saying science is wrong because science doesn't know something. And in another 50 or so years, when we do find out what was before the big bang, he'll find the next thing science still doesn't know and claim science is wrong because science can't explain this other phenomenon. This isn't anything new to any of us; religious people have been using god of the gaps since the dawn of civilization. The difference is, we should know better now.
