Eventually it is just on how you define space-time, what is your definition?

Hi Sanctus and thanks for your reply. My previous post was my philosophical view of how the universe may have began, and remains to be the only way my mind can accept such event's, but as always i am keen to learn and understand other theories and ideas. The BB theory as i understand states that everything including space ,time, and matter came from a singularity, a point so small, it would be almost impossible or impossible to imagine it, yet according to the theory such a thing did exist, and anything that existed or rather did not exist before the BB is totaly ignored and discounted, in other words there was NOTHING !... Well the only way i can make sense of absolute nothing in the manner you define "nothing" would be to say to myself, what was it like before i was born?, or what will it be like after i die?, the answer to the latter would be easy it would be the same as what it was like before i was born. So it could be said that the universe only exist's if we are here to observe it. Sorry to be rather morbid there it was just a thought that suddenly occurred to me while writing this. So the singularity was nothing... came from nothing....yet somehow was something, and this is the bit i just cant grasp, how can you turn nothing into something? did the singularity always infinitly exist? or did it just quite suddenly come into existence out of nothing, and if there was nothing surrounding the singularity, how could it expand or inflate into that nothing?. Well to answer your question what is my definition of space time is....... Well i dont have one of space and time, i only have one of Space, because i feel quite sure space and time do not exist together. So my defination of space is, something that has always infinitly existed, and always will, pure empty space is in effect nothing, nothing and empty space are the same thing, that's what pure empty space is, it's nothing, and because it has no begining or end to it's existance, and no begining or end to it's dimensions time cannot possibly exist, it's totaly stagnant. Time is an emotional human concepttion, what we feel and sense of time is the period between one event to to the next event like night and day, oh and we devised clocks based on our solar system to help us keep track of this time thingy we feel and sense, NOT space time, the universe knows nothing of time. If you in any way can help me understand the before and begining of the BB theory and maybe even convert me that would be great.
