"I don't think most scientist claim that there was nothing prior to the Big Bang but something called singularity where all matter was compressed into a sphere with no dimension."
Can a sphere have no dimension? How about a cube? Was that just a slip?
I think 'something', 'singularity', 'matter', 'compressed' and 'sphere' all point to something rather than nothing.
Theists posit a contingent God which explains origins, design/order, morality, existence and full world and philosophical views and hopes etc. At least stick this on the back burner if it is intellectually viable to some (rather than a false hope, superficial whim etc.).
Now I was taught to respect views and certainly not just laugh at them, especially if a reasonable option cannot be offered, and then put that forward too.
Now I'm not a scientist, so can anyone tell me what the scientific view is or are there many or is it not entirely clear? Has there always been something or not? Does the question of origins have challenging implications or difficult questions? If not, there is a framework to at least offer the world, if so - given the seriousness and fundamentalness, shouldn't we keep working before getting on any high dogmatic horse?
What if the enlightenment of scientific advancement is just another historical phase leadimng into spiritualness? I say this merely as a thought creator given the testimony of history and philosophy, and with neutrality as a believer in both.
