A challenge: Name something (i.e. a physical object) that wasn't made of already pre-existing materials.

Does the Bible say anywhere that things were created from nothing?
Actually nothing -- not even light.
From another perspective: sperm and milk.
...
It is very likely nobody shall be able to respond to this in a way that you expect. Of course, you knew that going into this...
The word in the Bible that denotes "create" does not mean to create something from nothing.
It means to organize something from raw materials that were pre-existing.
Also, if the Bible is to be taken literally, which I do take it literally, then the metaphoric context it explicitly establishes for the creation account tells us that it is not at all talking about the organization of our cosmos. It is all about the organization of the generations of mankind in symbolic representations.
Thus, in accordance to the correct metaphoric context and reading of the word "create", the whole Abrahamic religious thing has to do with how God organizes His Children upon those lands upon this planet that are designated as His property.
Reading anything more than this into the Biblical context may be fun and interesting but it is not the practical and pragmatic intent of its Author to have that done to it.
Have a nice day!

There's no hole. Photons are purely energy, and dense enough energy will turn into matter.
Light is certainly not made of any pre-existing material.
Hmmm. Can you have the most original form of light without fuel, oxygen and heat? Anyone got a match? :candle:
This is a very interesting thread. Makes one give pause....and think.
I guess the query of the thread, that nothing was just poofed into existance without a manufacturing process, in so many words.
