Oh bro, you don't need to worry, you guys have been awesome with this but I'm just dead curious on the starting point of the Big Bang, the singularity. Everything has to start from somewhere. So my curiosity is mostly on that part. I mean no one can test it, observe it and such, so its quite the mystery but accepted fact nonetheless.

As I said it's not actually accepted as fact, that topic is still a point of debate. The big bang theory only suggests that the observable universe expanded from a single point. The nature of that point is still very much up for debate. As for everything having to start from somewhere that is still up to debate as well, it is true that everything in the known universe comes from some something as far as we can tell. But so far scientists have never observed true nothingness, even the depths of space is filled with radiation etc caused by the big bang. For all we know stuff does spontaneously appears from nothing, there is no way of knowing without observing true nothingness. None of the so called laws of physics that exist in the known universe necessarily existed before the big bang. Time, gravity, causality, entropy, the absolute speed of light in a vacuum all may not have existed before that point.
It should be noted that the big bang theory isn't actually the name for the currently accepted model. the far less catchily titled Lambda-CDM model is what we use these days. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda-CDM_model.
