When I watched Stephen Hawking's God didnt created Universe and History channels History of World in 2 Hours documentaries, I was astonished to know that Time didnt existed before Big Bang and there was NOTHING before it even to acknowledge the events. This is very hard to digest but when the documentaries showed in great detail about the sequence of events from Big Bang to the present and the evolution of Human as species, I was flabbergasted and felt great to be knowing this fact. Also GOD is a just a figment of humans imagination and means to protect and guide as an invisible being also amused me. Of Course, physicists also need to project this theories to normal public so that they will be aware of the facts.

Sometimes its better if we don't know because all it does is give us more things to think about and more things to question about. Some things are meant to be hidden from us because we cannot take it with our limited brain. Also We believe what we want to believe no matter what the truth is even if the physicist explain how the universe made and how it end and what happen before and after that with all evidence intact, it doesn't mean that people will even listen. I still ask this question, what are we actually gain for knowing these stuff?

You are PARTIALLY correct that we have limited brain but you are very wrong in saying that it doesnt impact our daily lives. It does impact when we consider the future generations which you will consider incognito through your children and they will consider their next generation and so on. This things help us avoid any unwanted and unwarranted dangers lurking in the space like asteriod attack or any future attacks. These things are "NICE-TO-KNOW" since our curiosity has insatiable appetite.

Before Big Bang matter was in a commpressed form. But the question that always itches me to know is from where the compressed matter originated or what the ultimate source of matter was.

Very good question.... Since "BEFORE" doesnt exists, the matter is born as "MATTER" and "ANTI-MATTER" and they cancelled each other until one separated from one and another by a considerable distance.....but what ever triggered this we may never know

I don't know why this subject keeps coming up when it is quite obvious that no one knows how the universe started. On the one side, you have the big bang - with more questions than answers, primarily what went bang? On the other side, God created everything - presumably including Himself, or what was He doing before? We don't have answers and never will have!
