"Of course there was a before. Time always existed even if space as we know it did not." Problem. There is no way that time could ALWAYS exist. To say that time "always existed" is to say that time is infinite. So, then, time extends without limit into the past and without limit into the future. But that can't be possible. For time is a sequence and implies that SOMETHING is taking place in a sequence. But how can ANYTHING continue in sequence FOREVER in the past and FOREVER into the future? And how can anything occur if space does not exist and time does? How can there then BE a "before" if the context which gives "before" meaning has no moment within it that qualifies as a "before" moment? How can "before" extend to infinity relative to after? We enter absurdity here.
