The Big Bang Theory doesn't presume to answer the question of what came before, so that has nothing to do whether it's right or wrong. It merely attempts to explain the universe we can observe.

Exactly. The theory's just a starting point. Now, if they one day discover that it's wrong (although all the evidence so far suggests not) then they'll come up with another one. At least they're trying to explain it unlike some, who prefer us to believe in blind faith.

It's harder for me to fathom the concept of absolute nothingness. Take away everything in the universe, including the space left behind, and including anything or anyone who would even know to miss it. Non-existence, which seems a more likely "reality" ( is there such a thing as reality, if there isn't ANYthing?), eludes comprehension by my brain.
