Yes .. no way to know what physics even looked like before that point.

Essentially you are arguing that based on your experience with our current universe that something can't come from nothing. However pre-big bang we aren't in our current universe so that sort of extension is dangerous.

So lets test your faith the universe isn't conserving energy as a whole right now it is rapidly making energy. So following your thinking there must be something outside our universe right now?

I believe in "Evil, Bad, Ungodly fantasy science and maths", so I am undoubtedly wrong to you.
