If the Big Bang created space, then what was the singularity contained in and where did it pop into existence?

No, space and matter were created in the big bang.
And space is not absolute "nothing".
its duality
So wait, I've discovered a new way to look at the singularity.
So could the singularity have already been infinite size, always expanding, with uniform distribution of energy
And then became unstable, rippled and caused matter to exist, but will continue to expand further until it is uniform again?
So there really was no singularity the size of an atom like they say. We are in the singularity right now.
The singularity existed everywhere and contained everything. That is not to say that it was here and it was there and it was way over there too, because none of those places existed. The only thing that existed was the singularity- the point- and "outside the singularity" was a concept that is like asking "what is outside of spacetime." Mathematically irrelevant and bordering on pseudo-religious.
What is the thing that the singularity is contained in contained in? If you realize why that is a silly question then the same logic applies to asking what the singularity was contained in is a silly topic.

Prove that effect must have cause in the natural world.

So the singularity was infinite in size and the inflated universe is infinite in size?
So nothing changed but the forces of energy?

No, the singularity was finite in size: it was simply a point. But the point was "everywhere" because nothing was outside of the point. Modern theory believes that the universe is also finite in size (depending on your topological definitions); it's just bigger (and expanding).
Under most theories of the Big Bang, lots of things "changed" in between the singularity point and the point we are now, but in many ways those are just band-aids placed to compensate for the incompleteness of their individual theory. For the sake of argument let's just say the fundamental laws didn't change, it's just some properties of them ceased being relevant and others began being relevant.
The singularity didn't create space it was merely a boundary of space-time.
Hilarious watching humanity try to come to terms with one of the most fundamental principles of existence.
Our universe is black hole A colliding into black hole B. Thats it.

All explainable through this hypothesis. Just black holes swimming through the ether.
