Something came from nothing or how did existence come into existing? Why are there forces that do anything? What set everything in motion? There is no comprehensible explanation, I understand the big bang theory but it does not explain to me beyond since you can always ask what came before. It's not knowledge we are meant to know since it is impossible to know, I think it is silly to have strong feelings either way.
You can also ask what color the hat I'm wearing right now is, even though I'm not wearing a hat, or what there is north of the North Pole.
Just because a human language allows you to build a question grammatically doesn't mean the Universe actually contains anything which could be described by answering it. The question doesn't need to make sense.
Anyway, science is not about the ultimate "whys", unless you can formulate a hypothesis about them which you can deduce empirically testable predictions from.
