[Ham] There would have had to be matter in some form (energy and/or gas, for example) for such a cosmic eruption; so it is wrong to say that the Big Bang marked "the beginning" of existence. Energy, matter, things do not bring themselves into existence. Science doesn't have an answer to what led to the Big Bang, but you're not likely to find a physical scientist disputing the fact that something did.
[Krimel] You are rapidly dispelling what few doubts I had left that you haven't the faintest clue what you are talking about. Even a causal reading of a Wiki article should suffice to clear up some of your misconceptions. But I think you make a serious misjudgment if you think others here are so profoundly ignorant. According to the theory there was no matter, energy or gas before the Big Bang. There was no "before" before the Big Bang. The Big Bang refers to the instant at which time, matter and space, all of it, came into existence. Physicists can specify with a high degree of precision everything that has happened since the smallest possible instant of time after the Big Bang. They can go no farther because there is no place to go. There was nothing before it.
