We don't.

Yes, that is quite a problem for us, which probably has a lot to do with why we don't know exactly what happened before T=0.

The constraint is logic. To presume that the laws within the universe apply to the universe is to commit a fallacy of composition. Any implication that this means "one might as well admit one is not trying to find out what really was, but is prepared to accept anything thay sounds good without constraint" is entirely in your own mind. I am not prepared to accept any statement, no matter how good it sounds, about the universe unless it is supported by evidence.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
