The process which leads us to state that "all things must have a cause" or "stuff can't come from nothing" can only be held confidently to be true in this state of the universe, as it is, as we perceive it's interactions. All of -that- only goes as far back as the big bang. Before the big bang there could have been different physics...there could have been different -logic-. Perhaps stuff -couldn't- come from nothing in a hypothetical "before the big bang" if that phrase even makes sense......but we have no way of knowing that, and the reverse could just as easily be true.
Does this mean I can say a god could have existed before the big bang, with different laws and nature?
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
