Why pre Big Bang? Well its a major talking point on religion vs. science, i.e. did God begin creation at the big bang and there was nothing else before it, or was the a natural cause? Scientific theories lend themselves to the later.

One of the keys to the provided model to enable a "not completely out of left field silly assertion" (note I'm avoiding the term "reasoned assertion"), is that the model must predict a vastly increased capacity - beyond our universe- for evolution. By opening up the past (pre big bang) to an infinite regress this does just that.
We have a slight problem here. God, we are told, "exists outside of time and space." The Big Bang ostensibly brought everything into existence, including time and space. Creation is an activity. An activity requires time and a place. So, you need to explain to us just how an activity takes place without time and space. Will you invoke the usual "magical things beyond our understanding"?
