I think we need to learn a lot more about physics before we can make any accurate guesses about events prior to a few seconds after the big bang.
There something about that event that makes you think it can be
understood with physics? That is a start, what is it you think physics can
reveal?

Each more than likely should have its own question, I'll start with these
I'll come back to the others.
"-the singularity wasn’t sitting in any volume of space as such else it wouldn’t be a singularity. It was in a point of space (if you can call that “space” as such)."
No volumn of space.
So what was it sitting it?
It was a point of space so there was a space, right?
This space was what again?

What does that have to do with anything? A singularity has mass but, according to the definition of “mater”, no matter. So all matter had a beginning a finite period of time ago and thus is not ‘eternal’.
So where did the singularity's mass came from? -not that this is relevant here but if the standard theory is correct then the question wouldn’t ...[text shortened]... alking about regarding the dating of matter (not to be confused with mass which isn't dated)?
me where I do not understand you.
1. As some point in what ever, there was no point in time.
2. The singularity mass did not come from any where.
3. Where the singularity was, when it was, was in space, that was not space.
4. The singularity's mass not to be confused with matter existed in
time, all time, but is not eternal.
5. So mass when it becomes matter is the starting point of time we
look at when we date the matter it turned into.
6. All matter was brought about by energy at some point.
7. When all the energy was before the Big Bang, it was in a state we
call the singularity.
I have more questions, but I'll let you hit these first, my other questions
sort of depend on if I understand you so far.

If the standard main-stream theory is correct -yes.
But I certainly don’t rule out the possibility that standard main-stream theory is incorrect.
…3. Where the singularity was, when it was, was in space, that was not space.
...
That’s not quite what I said. It wasn’t “space” as you are familiar with it because it just existed as a point.
…4. The singularity's mass not to be confused with matter existed in
time, all time, but is not eternal….
Neither any given piece of matter nor any given piece of mass is eternal regardless of whether time itself had a beginning.
…5. So mass when it becomes matter is the starting point of time we
look at when we date the matter it turned into…..
Not sure if I understand you here so I clarify just in case;
IF there was a starting point of time (with the standard model being correct) then there was mass then but no matter at that start of time and no matter for a finite period of time after that until some of the energy (which came from the mass of the singularity) from the big bang was converted into matter.
When we date matter, we are not dating the mass in that matter but rather when that matter first formed from energy and not necessarily from the big bang because other processes also produce matter from energy or even other matter well after the big bang such as nuclear reactions in stars and supernovae etc.
…6. All matter was brought about by energy at some point.
...
And sometimes from other matter -yes.
…7. When all the energy was before the Big Bang, it was in a state we
call the singularity.
…
That is strictly correct -although I have personally been using the term “big bang” to mean to also include the singularity stage even although that isn’t strictly correct to do so because, strictly speaking, the singularity stage isn’t part of the ‘big bang’ if I have understood the terminology correctly.

Oh hang on; I made an edit error to include your “…1. As some point in what ever, there was no point in time…” comment there above my comment. My apologies -didn’t notice my mistake -actually I do not agree with your statement “…1. As some point in what ever, there was no point in time…” and cannot imagine where you got that from.
How did you get that conclusion?
-at ALL points in time there is a point in time! -this is a tautology and to say “there is no time at one point” is a logical self-contradiction!
…I imagine there was no anything at point?
...
At all points in time something existed.

It clearly is not a “statement of faith” but rather science.
It is based on the evidence which basically proves it.
It is based on relativity which has been proven to be correct many times over.
…So how do you know that according to science?

Haven’t you heard of relativity?

there was this singularity, in it was everything, it was sitting in this
