Anitmatter CAN make elements (anti-hydrogen, I believe, has been observed). The problem is that as soon as the antimatter hits matter, it annihilates into light, so antimatter doesn't live very long in a laboratory.
And if you can answer, definitively, why more matter was made in the big bang than anti-matter, you would win a Nobel Prize. As of now, as far as I know, no theory completely explains the disparity (though there are many ideas). It comes down to a small fluctuation in the universe at the time that matter was being created causing all the matter that we see to be left over after the anti-matter annihilated with matter. (A lot of people think the Big Bang was just all the matter that we see now being compressed into a spinning ball that explodes. That's completely not true. The matter had to be created as the energy density of the expanding universe dropped below a certain level.)
If you're really interested in that question, one of the places that physicists are looking to answer it is at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. There are several experiments going on there that may (and has) shed some light on this question. Check out the PHENIX experiment/collaboration specifically. I worked with them last summer. Very interesting stuff.

How can an expolsion create life come on, We were created by God the planets the stars earth and all of the animals and the human race, how can we have evolved from apes and how comes we have not evolved into something else. We were created an there was no big bang that made the enitre universe.

antimatter cant make elements because it works the opposite to matter and the rest of your question I don't know the answer to sorry

Neither of your questions have any basis in fact, so how can you expect and answer to hypotheses?
