Alright, regardless of the fact that you seem to know what existed before the universe, the point still remains. You're simply appealing to something higher than the Big Bang which caused the Big Bang. What caused the thing that caused the Big Bang? You see how this whole "appealing to contingency" thing ultimately leads you to exactly where science leads you? An endless series of questions whose answers simply lead to more questions. I'm not bashing science. It is both useful and beautiful. But don't put all of your eggs in that basket because human rationality, our own ability to reckon existence and reality, is entirely unsuited to the task of answering many of these questions.
Go lose yourself in other esoteric theories of the multiverse, of cyclical continued existence, of a universe that self-perpetuates, etc. It all leads to the same place that you started when you asked how our own universe came into being. You're no closer to the essence and nature of reality than you were when you realized you were a sentient being in a material world.

You're reading you deep into it and claiming that science is looking for answers in places that they are in fact not.
