Genesis 1:1 forms the basis for the Judeo-Christian doctrine of creation out of nothing (creatio ex nihilo).Some scholars still support this reading, [5] but most agree that on strictly linguistic and exegetical grounds this is not the preferred option, [6] [7] [8] and that the authors of Genesis 1, writing around 500–400 BCE, were concerned not with the origins of matter (the material which ...
