Default Help 1995 Honda odyssey wont start!!!!

Ok so today I replaced the front axles, front brakes, and did an oil change on
My 1995 Honda odyssey van. While under the car I noticed that the AC, ps, and alternator belts needed to be replaced so I disconnected the positive battery terminal, undo the alternator connectors, and loosen up the power steering unit. Both belt came off and I decided to check the timing belt. I pop off the valve cover and then the timing cover and the timing belt looked fine so I decided to turn the crank pulley to check if the belt was tight and if the time was ok. I turned the crank until the white marker lined up with the arrow and then I noticed that the cam was on the "up" position, so far so good. Put everything back together... And try to start the car....start position, all lights came on, 2 click the fuel pump priming, then to the on position and nothing... It doesnt crank or click at all... And there is NO CEL.... I double checked everything, all fuses are good, battery connections are good.... I'm just confuse why it just wouldn't crank... And YES it started up FINE before I parked it and worked on it.... If anyone got any ideas... Please. Help

Try "whacking" the starter with a block of wood while someone starts the car to see if the starter is bad. The whack should jump the starter long enough to actually start the car if it is starting to go bad.
Did you mess with the distrubutor at all? Have you tested the battery to make sure it has 12v? Has 12v at the starter?

I didn't touch the distributor at all and the battery is good because the lights and radio and power atenna works fine. There is no clicks so I know that it's not the starter. And yes I did try banging on the starter to see if it started and it didnt. It's like its stuck in a stuck in a security mode where everything lights up when the key is turn to the ON position and when you turn it one more time to crank the engine it doesn't do anything... There's no fast clicking like the battery is low or if it has a lose connection. It doesn't click one time like e starter solenoid is bad too. So I'm pretty much stuck... Does anyone knows how to rig the starter to manually start the car...???

try to put the car on neutral and then try to start it? if anything try disconnecting the battery for 2mins or so then reconnect?

just taking a wild guess but possible ignition switch problem? they are known to go out.
