A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Your argument is not defending your position.

If we say the Big bang is true, and it's the creation of all matter. That would include the constituent elements of matter. Even if some elements have a longer lifespan than others, that doesn't speak to when they were created.

It's perfectly possible there's a different model, the better represents reality, that would allow for something to exist before the Big bang, but that would not be the Big bang theory. That would be a different theory, if we're working with the Big bang theory then nothing existed before it.
