The Big Bang CREATED time.

One cannot in ANY scientific sense speak of “before the Big Bang;” it’s a nonsense phrase like “sucked into a vacuum,” or “letting the cold out.”

That’s why the Bible had to begin “In principio...”

There is—by definition—no time before that.

I don’t know why this is not obvious to so many.

The void. Nothingness. Describing it assumes that there is something there to describe, a fallacy.

Yes, I know that, and I think that the post you are referring bears that out. I can't really think of the right word to say. Perhaps it's best to say that time, matter, space, and energy came into being with the Big Bang.
