1. Nothing produced something which then exploded its matter and out of that came personality, abstract thoughts, rationale, intuition, love, hate, discernment and even believe in a personal Creator.
You appear to be asking about the Big Bang. Firstly, this has nothing to do with the theory of evolution by natural selection: the universe was not created through a process of natural selection, but by the laws of physics.
For example, if I kick a ball, it keeps going in the same direction until something (a wall; gravity; friction; etc) changes its path. Similarly, if you set a star moving in a particular direction, it will keep going until it collides with another star or its path is changed by the gravity of some massive object. Simple laws of physics: testable, observable, widely accepted as fact.
Tracing the ball’s path backwards, you find my foot. Tracing…

What expanded? The thing is, atheistic views of the beginnings of the universe suffer from exactly the same criticism by way of a question levelled at theists - what created the first entity that existed?
Atheists seem to think they’ve won the argument by posing the question ‘who created God?’, but it can equally be turned on it’s head - if we accept, as most right thinking people do that everything has a beginning, how did ‘nothing’ become ‘something’ in the very first instance? You haven’t explained that.
