	IBSS - The Bible - Genesis 1: Ex Nihilo
		Ex nihilo is a Latin phrase meaning "out of nothing." It is a theological term that refers to creation not being made out of pre-existing matter.
		Clement of Alexandria three times "declares that the world is made 'out of nothing', but in each case the phrase he employs is ek me ontos, not ex ouk ontos; that is to say, it is made not from that which is absolutely non-existent, but from relative non-being or unformed matter" (Chadwick 1966, 46).
		May in his book Creatio ex Nihilo argues very persuasively for the second century AD development of the doctrine of "creation out of nothing" (1994).

	Ex nihilo - Uncyclopedia
		Ex nihilo (Italian for out of my ass), is the process of creating something from nothing at all (euphemistically, from one's ass).
		The first known act of ex nihilo creation was in 4004 BCE by the LORD God Jehovah.
		Even though it is generally believed that it is physically impossible to effortlessly magick any desired thing from out of the void, most businesses are in the habit of making it appear that they do just that, in order not to lose valuable market share.

	"Is Creatio Ex Nihilo A Post-Biblical Invention? An Examination Of Gerhard May's Proposal" by Paul Copan
		the ex nihilo doctrine was formulated later by the church fathers to defend theism against an ultimate dualism or a monistic pantheism.
		Indeed, May gives the false impression that creatio ex nihilo was nothing more than the invention of well-meaning Christian theologians who were trying to defend what they believed to be the biblical notions of God's absolute sovereignty, freedom, and omnipotence in the face of heretical gnostic doctrines.
		Even though May's main thesis - that the doctrine of creatio ex nihilo was formulated in the midst of controversy in the late second century - is correct, this would still leave untouched the issue of whether or not it is a biblical doctrine.

	Ex Nihilo Creation: A Biblical Defense
		According to Mormonism, creation ex nihilo (out of nothing) is not to be found in the Bible and is untrue: God created the universe out of matter that pre-existed, and ex nihilo creation is a invention of the apostasized post-Apostolic church.
		Christians today hold firmly to the doctrine of ex nihilo creation, although admittedly, it is not explicitly taught in the Bible: there are only broad hints that are compatible with it.
		Ex nihilo, on the contrary, expresses the idea that God made the world by mere will of having it appear, without any use of pre-existent materials.

	Creation Ex Nihilo and the Big Bang
		On such a model the universe originates ex nihilo in the sense that at the initial singularity it is true that There is no earlier space-time point or it is false that Something existed prior to the singularity.
		It seems to me that this still doesn’t give us “origination ex nihilo.” What follows from step 7 of the argument is only that the universe didn’t emerge from something that existed at a time earlier than t=0—not that it wasn’t made out of anything at all.
		There is no reason that the theist could not explain creation ex nihilo by saying that the sum total of the matter/energy in the universe is zero and thus God in creating the universe required no material substratum.

	Etiology of Creation
		Though there are pertinent differences, the explanation of "creation ex nihilo" does indeed often mire down in some of the same logical absurdities, which we will henceforth set out to expose.
		In the phrase ex nihilo the object of the preposition ex is nihilo, "nothing." When "nothing" is a grammatical object, the human mind logically tends to objectify "nothing" into a substantive "something," in order to conceptualize such an abstraction.
		When traditional religious explanation has reverted to creation ex nihilo, they are apparently using the Latin preposition ex in a secondary meaning other than derivation, source or origin, in order to explain how God's process or technique of creating employed no pre-existing material.

	Ex nihilo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Additional support for Ex nihilo creation comes from the Summum philosophy that states before there was anything, there was nothing, and if there was nothing, then it must have been possible for nothing to be.
		In some computing environments, "ex nihilo" is used to describe various techniques for creating data structures or objects.
		In prototype-based programming languages, an object is created "ex nihilo" if it does not use another object as its prototype.

	Creation ex nihilo - Theopedia
		Creation ex nihilo is the belief that God created this world out of nothing, ex nihilo being Latin for "from nothing." The Bible is clear that God is the creator of this world (Gen 1:1; Job 38:1-42:6 among many others), but the issue of how he created this world is what is in question.
		Typically there are two main answers: (1) either God created this world from nothing, or (2) he created this world from pre-existing matter.
		The doctrine of creation ex nihilo was mostly developed due to the rising pressure of Gnosticism.

	Maverick Philosopher Creation: Ex Nihilo or Ex Deo?
		When I say that God creates ex Deo what I mean is that God operates on entities that are not external to God in the sense of having existence whether or not God exists.
		My creation of the cairn is therefore not ex nihilo in either of the senses lately distinguished, but out of materials external to me. If God created in that way he would not be God as classically conceived, but a Platonic demiurge.
		If it could simply mean, "if nothing exists (not even God), then nothing could come into existence, given the previous state of nothingness." God creates ex nihilo, not in the sense of absolute nothingness (since God is present), but rather in the sense that nothing other than God was present.

		During his lengthy discourse, Joseph Smith discussed the nature of God the Father as an Exalted Man, the heavenly council who participated with God in the creation, the premortal existence of man, and the creation by "organization" rather than "ex nihilo" as was the accepted interpretation of Genesis 1 by Christians of his day.

	Denial of Creation ex nihilo in Mormonism and Platonism
		This is important to note, because Mormonism follows similar beliefs to Philo in regard to denial of creation ex nihilo, a fact which renders rather hollow the LDS claim of "apostasy" as evidenced by Hellenization in the Early Church.
		On the other hand, if creation ex nihilo is true, Jesus is "begotten" not created, and He must be of the Platonic "essence".
