Creation Ex Nihilo?

RALPH
If you would please read my question again, you might wish to reconsider 
your response. Read the Bible carefully before you answer.

Dear Ralph,
You are right.  I misunderstood the question.  Looking at the verses
you gave, it seems that for some things God created it was a two-step
process.  What is the point?

RALPH
Two-step process? Where does it say that, please?


BRIDEAN
Let me take a stab at this.  In everyday life we see multi-step
processes all the time.  Example, from sand we get silicon, from
silicon we make chips.  From chips and other components we make
computers.

Similarly, why couldn't God have created water and dirt out of
nothing and then made stuff from water and dirt?  

Or a better example.  Let's say you are making a cake and you wanted
to REALLY start from scratch.  So you take wheat and grind it (or
whatever else you do to wheat) to make flour instead of buying flour
from the store.  Would you say that you made the cake from flour
or would you say that you made it from wheat?
