In fact as far as I know no reputable scientist has made that statement. But there have been suggestions by researchers that the Big Bang came about because of a quantum event. This implies that there was something before the BB. That would have been the quantum foam. The quantum foam would have had to exist in order for the universe to erupt out of it. So that there would not have been nothing (absolute nothing if you insist) before that. I don't see that Bill S. is claiming anything. He is wondering about it, which is a very human thing to do.
