I think a lot of people here are correlating the concept of "nothing" with the concept of what happened before the Big Bang. That's not necessarily accurate. If something served as the impetus for the creation of our universe and the beginning of our time, that just means that there was something there before it (think B.C.E and C.E.), and we haven't yet gone far back enough to reach the beginnings of anything. Think bigger than the Big Bang as the beginning of all time, but rather just of current time.
