Good question! Of course you can't "wrap your head can't  around..............." The reason is that evrything thing in our minds is there because of experience. But we have never experienced nothingness.

As for what existed before the Big Bang, I say it was God. Cosmologists are struggling with this if they are looking for a natural cause. Some even say that the nothingness caused it, which is absurd. Nothing does not produce anything.

I know some poster will ask "what caused God?" But that's a question to be discussed elsewhere.

To paraphrase you; "God exists, therefore I am".

To stay alive you need to learn every day - you never know

For sure our brain is not designed to understand all - we can only think and experience in 3 dimensions and for us every cause has an effect. In quantum physics we know that things can happen without a cause - it is only brain that believes everything should have a cause.

Regarding the reference to God, I believe already for ages our brain has a way to solve to unknown - assign it to a God. In the ancient Greek time thunder and lighting were Gods, now we know better and we have less Gods to assign.

A good book to understand a little beyond our imagination is called flatland

I'm not sure what you are disagreeing with the Flying Dutchman about.

I gather from his his answer.He is not denying the existence of God rather as man,(We). Advanced through the centuries .He,(Us); learned that thunder is vibration set out as waves like a pebble tossed in the pond,(the pebble being the lightening.).Which we hear as sound we call Thunder. and the lightening we see as the bolt.we see the light first. Because it travels faster then sound.

The act is simply static build up between the positive earth let's say and the negative ions in the atmosphere.

That action,(rubbing of the two ion's),is followed by an reaction,(lightening,Thunder).Not gods'.However A god maybe the author of the physics.A sort of librarian of the Data base as described in my earlier comment.
