2/ asking "why do planets and moons spin?" and the answer was an appeal to statistics - there are a ton more items in a random distribution of momentums that equate to "spinning" than equate to "not spinning".

3/ Planets and moons are formed by the coallescence, under gravitation, of various small bits. Things falling in from infinity, basically. Depending on the random assortment of starting locations of those infalling bits, you get torque applied to the accumulating mass core.

4/ In order to end up with a planet with absolutely no spin, you need a PERFECT balance of starting locations of all of the constituent bits before they start their fall in. This is possible, but is an insanely small subset of all possible starting configurations.
