I'll leave it there, and see what we can come up with together. a possibilty is not a thing), and therefore did not need to be created, I would counter that it is also not 'nothing', and if prior to God's creation of the world there was truly nothing it follows that possibilities did not yet exist either. If one claims that the possibility of something existing is not really 'something' in itself (i.e. If the possibility exists apart from God and does not require him to create it then that possibility constitutes a kind of 'prima materia' coeternal with God from which God creates the world, which is also not creation ex nihilo. Now if one counters that the possibility for the existence of the world existed in God, then that would imply that God created the world out of himself which is no longer creation ex nihilo, but is actually much closer to the point of view of eastern non-dualist philosophy which says that the world and God are not essentially different. But the possibility for the possibility for the possibility of the world existing did not exist yet, and so on ad infinitum. Therefore, God first had to create the possibility for the possibility of the world existing. But the possibility for the possibility of the world existing did not exist yet. Therefore, before God could create the world he had to create the possibility for the world existing. Since nothing else existed whatsoever then we can conclude that the possibility for the existence of the world did not exist either. I would also wonder whether this argument has been posed before (as I imagine it must have been), and by whom, and what did they say about it? Hopefully, it will be clear and readily understood, but if not then perhaps some of you can help me clarify or reword the argument as necessary.ДЄccording to the theory of Creation ex nihilo, before anything at all existed there was only God and nothing else. An argument against creation ex nihilo occured to me earlier today and I would like some input on it.

Ex nihilo creation addons
