Somebody posted a link before also saying that there was nothing before, no time etc. But it seems to me that this is said only because of people not wanting to admit that they don't know. Cmon, we don't know how it all started - that's the right answer.
I don't know much about Hubble's Constant and such stuff, but from simple logic this is just impossible to explain with saying "nothing", "no time" and "nobody" etc.
Which one was first: the egg or the chicken?
There are theories which are MORE likely to be truth. Theory of the Big Bang is based on serious calculations, observations.
I could say that the Universe has been created by a 8 year-old boy. That's a theory but it's more likely to be false and it's easy to prove that. Theory of Big Bang is a best theory-fact so far.
About the questions - yes, there are questions which are impossible to explain or imagine (like "there was no time").
But impossible to imagine/explain is not equal to false theory.
