Creation ex nihilo - True, False or Unknowable?

[William]

The doctrine of creatio ex nihilo is widely assumed in classical theism. But:

Scripture never states it clearly (2 Maccabees 7:28 is a mother's assertion under torture, not a revelation).

It violates ex nihilo nihil fit - yet the same critics who reject "round squares" as logically absurd often accept ex nihilo without a principled distinction.

Resurrection hope does not logically require it.

So: True, False, or Unknowable - and why?

In Biblical point of view it is not "nothing comes from nothing". God created all things, so all things came from God.

Thank you, 1232. Just to be sure I understand you — are you offering this as an objection to my original post, or as a clarification or supplement to it?

You asked "Creation ex nihilo - True, False or Unknowable?" And my answer was to that. In Biblical point of view things came from God, not from nothing.

Ah I see - you are saying ex nihilo is false.

Thanks for your contribution 1232.
