The "Big Bang" is a humorous expression of a fierce quarrel/an emotional explosion . And the question that "we" have discussed there had been there long before the horrible quarrel came to happen.

Absolutely not!
In general usage one would never speak like that in the US..BUT, maybe the antipods would say it that way...I don't know.
Remember ori, the Americans and Australians are two cultures seperated by a common language.
I also failed to understand the humour, which probably means there was none.

One should also remember that both of us would have a good understanding of the sentence whichever way it was used. We may think the structure somewhat odd and not to our liking however the meaning is clear.
I feel sure there would be regional language differences with Madarin in China and its prefectures.
