And one other remark: if there was a "big bang" creating our spacetime
than the statement "X existed before Big Bang" is allways false
because
without spacetime the you can't apply "exist" to anything (X).

I think that also depends on how you interpret the word "exists".

The mathematical statement: "The number 1 exists" (as a solution, say, to the
equation x-1=0), asserts nothing about the "physical" existence of the number
one. In fact, the number one itself, is nowhere to be found, physically.

It only exists in the mathematical realm.

Yes - of course you are right and the problem is that I quoted "exist" when I
should have pointed to the "before" ... sorry (I guess I was still thinking about
the "sonic trees" ;) )
