Isaiah 55:
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Uh huh. Where do you see that anything was made from nothing or the claim that it was? Do you believe in magic? I guess you do. Only nothing can be created from nothing.
From the top, In the beginning the gods created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was without form and void and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the spirit of God hovered over the face of the waters....
Now, where, in all of that, do you see that anything was created from nothing? The waters already existed. The earth was without form. It doesn't say nothing was there. In fact, it says that something was, in fact, there. So much for creation ex nihilo.
As I said, the theology preached here doesn't come from the Bible. It was manufactured by a church that you all claim is a heretical cult but you accept their version that
isn't found in the Bible. And you all repeat it like a parrot. How does that work? You all say they are wrong but you keep repeating what they taught you and never consider the scriptures they claim they came from.
Here's a general rule of thumb that I have never seen any exception to... If one is to create anything, one must do it with the materials available. If I create a house, I must cut down trees and make lumber. Even if I were to 3D print a house, I must still supply the printer with the materials to print the house with. Only nothing comes from nothing.
The Bible suggests that there were materials and that he used those materials which were without form with which He formed an earth. Creating something from nothing simply does not exist in the universe. Not even God can create something from nothing.
As for the fish and the bread, I believe the miracle was in that the people ate and were filled. A little went a long way. Sure, they started with very little, but they didn't start with nothing. This isn't the first time this kind of miracle occurred. The same thing occurred with the widow of Zarephath. Elijah promised the widow "The jar of flour shall not be spent, and the jug of oil shall not be empty, until the day that the LORD sends rain upon the earth." Did the jar and the jug magically produce flour and water out of nothing? That would be magic right? No. There was so little the widow was preparing a morsel for her and her son and then she was prepared to die. She wasn't even willing to share what she had because there was barely enough to feed two people, but like mana from heaven or quail to starving saints or seagulls to saving crops, the Lord makes a way to fill the jug and jar. It doesn't come from within the jar. It comes from outside of the jar where materials can be gathered to make the contents that go in the jar. The widow had something. It just wasn't very much. If she had had nothing. That would be a different story. It might be a mystery to us how that occurred, but it isn't to God. Just because it's a mystery doesn't mean it was created from nothing.
In the Book of Mormon, Jesus performed a similar miracle only in this rendition, no one brought anything for the bread and wine and yet there was enough for everyone and they were filled. Did it come from nothing? No. If humans came from dust, I think bread and wine would be less difficult to create, but their appearance didn't come from nothing.
There is no such thing as creation ex nihilo. That's just a fabricated story that parents tell their children for entertainment.
