The problem here is that many people (based in part on poor
descriptions from my learned colleagues) think that the initial
singularity in the Big Bang model was a point in space. It wasn't.
It was a point in time.

But what can be said about space at that time. If there was no time
before that point, was there no space either?

Correct. It went directly from "no space or time"
to "time is ticking and space is infinite" by some
process which is not yet understood. It did pass
GO but did not collect UKP 200.
