Before the Big Bang? Afterthought (Origins)

We only know what energy and matter look like on this side of the bb. We have no idea what the other side looks like. It could be a strange form of pure energy we know nothing about. All that has happened since WWII in the 1950-90's was the smashing of so-called matter particles into their underlying bits of this and that and also prying out the field and force creating 'particles'. They follow rules which fit neatly into the Standard Model, so much so, the Higgs boson could be predicted about 50 years ago. We know what we got, but we can hardly claim to know what came before the bb. To claim it was just like the space-time we have now cannot be justified. Has there been more than one bb is also an unknown, but if there was one it is certainly conceivable there were others before it. At this point one should stop. The bb looks like a creation, so the individual may assume faith in a creator if he wishes, or not, as he wishes. As we have discussed, the outcome of the bb with a complex universe, with sentient life, with other life in all its complexity, all raise other issues of design and a possible creator.
