'Atheists can't answer these questions' ...or Can We?

Islamic apologetics channel Towards Eternity has a challenge for atheists. I respond.

Towards Eternity posted a video titled “Atheists Can’t Answer These Questions” where they asked 3 questions which they say not only undermine atheism, but also point to the existence of god. I give my answers to these questions and discuss the logical fallacies present. In my opinion, the god of the gaps reasoning here is the biggest issue, but the fallacy of composition and some scientific illiteracy make appearances too. In this atheist / Muslim debate, sometimes we have to humble ourselves, admit ignorance, and work to find answers from there. Let’s try to assume less and use scientific skepticism more.

The host of Towards Eternity's video was respectful and stuck to the topic at hand rather than smearing his detractors. Let's do the same, everyone.

The first question is like saying "if a brick doesn't let you cross a river, there's no way bridges can let you cross rivers, if they're made of bricks"

As Richard Feynman once said, "I'd rather have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned"

A fun thing is always: There are things that just are. Laws of physics, gravity etc.
They want to argue "But where did they come from? Clearly a god must have created these laws!"
And upon the question "where did god come from" they answer "they just are"...
So their answer in their mind is sound, but the same answer without the god is not.

The first argument is basically: "Letters alone are meaningless! Therefore, words, phrases and texts cannot ever be formed from letters since they don't mean anything."

"Atoms don't have wheels, so cars are proof of god's existence."

"You cannot give a feature you dont have to someone else" this statement attempts to redefine biology and in turn completely erased the ideas of genetic mutation and recessive traits.

saying that 'atoms can't see or hear so they can't make something that can' is like saying 'i cant live in a brick so I can't live in a brick house'
