For those of you who are trying to understand that God created the earth ex nihilo, are you saying there should be a step in between "and God said" and "it was so" in Genesis 1?

I'm trying to understand why someone would ask how God created something ex nihilo (like the earth), but then not accept "and God said" as an answer.

Note: "deest" is Latin for "wanting": lacking in a certain required or necessary quality; lack or be short of something desirable or essential.

So my simple question is:

Are you saying there should be a step in between "and God said" and "it was so"?

When invoking magic anything is possible so there are no rational reason to answer the question. Its a "how many angels can dance on the head of a pin" question.

Then don't invoke magic and answer the challenge.

Should there be a step between the command to come forth and the obedience of that command?

Why would I who deny the existance of metaphysics invoke magic?

Its you who do so, so stop being deliberately obtuse.
