Listing of Resources on Creation Ex Nihilo vs. Ex Materia

Tony Costa and Anthony Rogers, both Calvinists, have posted a video attempting to defend creation out of nothing from Gen 1:1:

'Bara' in Genesis 1:1 and 'Creatio Ex Nihilo'. Dr. Tony Costa and Rev. Anthony Rogers

Costa, who thinks 'adieu' in Jacob 7:27 is a good argument against the Book of Mormon (see his interview with he who writes as if his daughter has broken into his computer) and Anthony Rogers, someone of next to no competence in the Hebrew language (he cannot tell the difference between ָ [qamatz] and ִ [hireq], resulting in him being owned badly by Anthony Buzzard) make a number of claims, such as creation out of nothing being found in the intertestamental period and other claims one will find in the writings of Craig, Copan, et al. In reality, they are just wrong.

For a thorough refutation of creation ex nihilo, as well as discussions of Gen 1:1, see:
