Cosmological Argument:

There needs to be a being with no beginning to start everything, why? Because if not then the chain goes back forever, why can't the universe go back forever? Because I said so. Why does it have to be a sentient being? Because I said so. Why is this being the Abrahamic god? Cause I said so.

What was before the big bang is speculation, but even most scientific models go out from the hypothesis that there was simply no time before the big bang. A temporal infinity in the past is thus impossible, and that means a causal one is also impossible. I never said it had to be sentient, interpret being in a wide sense here. If you start from the concept of a necessary being, it has to be unique, ergo, there can only be one. That's not "because I said so". There is many a library written on the topic from all sides.

It's not a hypothesis that there was no time before the expansion of the singularity, it's founded in theory. Space and time are one in the same, you cannot have one without the other and one distorts and effects the other. If there was no space before the singularity then that means there was no time before the singularity. Meaning a 'necessary being' couldn't have existed before the big bang as there would be no time for that being to exist in as time is a requirement for an event.

It's impossible because? 

You've just basically said if your argument begins with the assumption that you're right, then you have to be right.
