I don't presume to know. Do you?

The Big Bang makes no predictions about what may have preceded this universe, so it is just as likely that there was something rather than nothing.

As for the experiments in quantum fluctuation, they always seem to start with something too.

I'll take that as a less than coherent "No" ...

Did your question exist before you asked it?

My question came from my understanding of cosmology and my comprehension of the English language, both of which existed before my question.

The biblical version of Creation is not exact or precise, so it lacks a unique interpretation. Just a fact.

But not the question, itself --and was there a time before your comprehension of the knowledge referenced existed?

According to most multiverse theories, "something" has always been.

Yes, but like the question, it came from what preceded it, not from nothing.
