Good Question For Catholics and Others

"There is no discernible difference between that and "nothing", is there?"

There is material nothingness and immaterial nothingness. That there was no material before a Big Bang can be true. But that there was no power or immeasurable intellect before material cannot be true.

OK, but it doesn't make sense to talk about a time before the big bang. I don't see how it would be a problem for God to exist independently of time, though.
