Doesn't the theory of Matter Spread contradict with the fact that all things attract and gravity? PLEASE no "I don't know" answers.

Oh, no my friend. Sides, they are not really sure if there was or wasn't even spread anyway. The big bang theory says that after a big ka-boom, stuff went flying all over. Kinda like a dynamite or a nuclear explosion. Does either of these two contradict gravity? Nah. There are other fundamental forces, other than gravity. Gravity is a "weak" force, but it acts over long distances. For example, put two apples next to each other; both have a gravitational pull for each other, but it's rather small. So small that, well, they won't move towards each other. Why? Because the force of friction between each given aple and the table it's sitting on, can exceed the pull that the gravity can provide. On the other hand, gravity works over distances as distant as two planets. Generally speaking, things don't stay "evenly spread" for a great amount of time, and the reason is because this state requires more energy than a state of less homogeneity. What is easier, to keep your books evenly spread on a bookcase, or to let them get a little messy, a cluster here, an empty space there.

First tell me what is theory of matter spread. Do you mean to say wave packet to describe a particle? It is a fact that all particles have attraction between them because they all have mass. In addition to this they have some other properties such as charge and magnetic moment because of which they interact with each other in a stronger way. If a particle has spread their spreads will also interact in the same way. I tried to reply because you said, I don't know answer won't do. I expect your response to this answer.

I dont think it does. Einstein predicted the existence of something called Dark Energy. For many years, and reasons i don't understand, this theory was scrapped. Einstein himself scrapped it. Then, in the early 1990's scientists once again started looking back into it. Currently, Dark Energy is the theory on why the universes is expanding and not coming back in on itself.
