If we could find the point in space where the singularity happened would you expect to find abnormalities in space time? Is there a ground zero, where there is no relative motion where everything is rushing away?

When the Universe began it was completely crammed and uniformly with matter. There was no empty space whatsoever for a long time. Everyplace was like every other place.
Most scientists think the Universe was infinite when it began and still is. So it didn't begin at a point.
After its initial expansion from a singularity, the Universe cooled sufficiently to allow energy to be converted into various subatomic particles. It would take thousands of years for some of these particles (protons, neutrons, and electrons) to combine and form atoms, the building blocks of matter.

How big was this early universe that was crammed with matter?

The Big Bang singularity is a theoretical event that is believed to have marked the beginning of the universe. It is the point at which all matter and energy in the universe were compressed into a single, infinitely dense and hot state.
The exact cause of the Big Bang singularity is still unknown, but it is believed to have been triggered by a rapid expansion of space known as inflation. This caused the universe to rapidly expand and cool, leading to the formation of matter and energy.
The concept of "before" the Big Bang singularity is difficult to understand, as time and space as we know it did not exist at that point. Some theories suggest that there may have been a previous universe that collapsed in on itself, leading to the Big Bang. However, this is still a subject of debate and research.
One of the main pieces of evidence for the Big Bang singularity is the cosmic microwave background radiation, which is a remnant of the intense heat and energy released during the event. Other evidence includes the expansion of the universe and the abundance of light elements such as hydrogen and helium.
The Big Bang singularity is not directly related to the theory of evolution. However, the expansion of the universe and the formation of stars and galaxies that occurred after the Big Bang allowed for the development of complex organisms and the process of evolution to take place.
