There were no physical laws, no nature, nothing but an unending void
of nothingness.
Suddenly out of nothing something became.

So the "unending void" nonetheless did end.
... before time ...
Sorry, bucko. The word "before" implies a temporal ordering, but there is
no temporal ordering outside of time.
It exists outside of time and before time therefore; it has always
existed and always will.
This something that became was and is intelligence. With the initial
intelligence came others and in a sudden flash the void began to fill
and began to be pushed out from the energy of the intelligence that
became.
Well Einstein, if it existed outside of time and has always existed then
there really would be no reason to suddenly fill the void, and thus no
explanation as to why this event would occur. Nor is there any explanation
as to why this event occured at a particular point in the finite past
rather than some other.
The intelligences organized and filled the void turning energy to
matter and creating space-time to displace the void.
Why bother? See above.

We think therefore we are.
This statement is circular so it cannot be prescriptive.
