Pre Big Bang Theory (Score 1)

If the universe was non-existant before the "Big Bang" occured, then what are the current thoughts regarding what type of matter existed before it occured. Being that a force of energy broke up this object of great mass down to sub-atomic levels it does not discount the existance of the universe as the atomic level seems to have existed for this to have occured. All the thoery does in my mind is disprove allot of theology based theories. What are your thoughts on this aspect of the theory?
