Sometimes answers to deep philosphical questions of "why" really do have simple answers.
And those answers can be unfulfilling when the questions are vague or ill-thought-out.

Therefore, I assume, your answer of:
"> If there was a Big Bang, why were there elements that would allow for the BB in the first place?
No idea. "
And, your inability to see beyond the superficial aspects of the seen, and logically inferred, does nothing to dispel the possibility, or the reality of an alternate universe, a a spiritual dimension, or any of the other alternates that have been proposed from the same scientific community of physicists that power so many of the current trends of speculation on the beginnings of the universe.
Cynicism does not wear well on the human condition.
BTW, are you insinuating that my questions are ill-thought-out or vague? Shame on my illiterate self.
