Observations and mathematical interpretations of the current state of th3 known universe make it a pretty safe bet that the singularity occi=urred. All that is was contained in an infintely small point (size: Planck length?) If space/time occurred at the first trillionth of a second after the 'Big Bang' then time did not exist. Space did not ecist. It was 'contained' inside what? Mind (consciousness) maybe?

"What of it? If it exists, we know from the above where it comes from. As to where it is, what does this have to do with the singularity, with creation or with anything? "
