This is what is termed creation ex nihilo, which is simply the Latin theological term given for it. It means the same, 'out of nothing'. Hebrews 11:3 and other verses refers to the fact that God created everything. Thus it is understood that matter is not eternal and so it was created 'out of nothing' by almighty God in the beginning.

The term itself is not found explicitly in The Bible but is a logical deduction since the other alternative, the eternity of matter is indeed an unlikely possibility indeed. Apart from Hebrews, other verses which are relevant to this include: Psalm 33:6, John 1:3, Romans 4:17, 1 Corinthians 1:28 and of course Genesis 1:1 ff.

The short answer is that the Question answers itself. Creation out of nothing means making a thing, or things, with zero raw materials; without even energy or space to start with. The only one capable of creating anything out of nothing, is God; and that is the manner in which He created the universe in which we live.
