Sep 11, 2017 at 20:22 comment added James Shewey I believe analysis of the Greek of 2 Maccabees 7:28 will indicate that "from nothing" is an editorialization by the translator not present in the original language. Contrast the GNT/CEB with the RSV for example. I have started a question here to that end.
Sep 11, 2017 at 19:30 comment added Sola Gratia St. Thomas assumes it because the Bible teaches it ("I beseech thee, my son, look upon heaven and earth, and all that is in them: and consider that God made them out of nothing [ex níhilo], and mankind also"—2 Macc 7:28).

Aug 21, 2017 at 15:45 comment added Wtrmute Notice, as well, that the phrase is creatio ex nihilo, with two i. Regarding the doctrine, I'm fairly certain that St Thomas Aquinas already assumes it, though he is an Aristotelian rather than a Platonist.

Aug 16, 2017 at 6:35 comment added user3961 I'm going to bet that similarities are coincidental. Modern creationists are not really the same thing as creationists past.
