According to the Christian faith, God created everything "ex nihilo" which means "out of nothing" in Latin. Christians believe that God spoke everything into existence. He didn't use something to make everything. Then the question would read: "Where did that 'something' come from?"

AnswerThere are 2 biblical sources of information on the creation of the world in Genesis. *

In Genesis 1:1 to 2:4a ( up to first sentence of 2:4) there was a pre-existing watery chaos. The ocean was already present and a wind moved across the surface. The seas rested on the dry land, which appeared on day 3 when God gathered the waters together. The big things (land, water, air) were already there. Many people believe that Genesis 1:1 says, "In the beginning God created heaven and earth, but this is not what the original Hebrew verse said. As long ago as the eleventh century CE, the influential Jewish scholar, Rashi, said that Genesis 1:1 should be read, "When God began to create" or "In the beginning of God's creation".

* Genesis 2:4b to 2:15 is actually the older account in the Judaic religion and says that there was pre-existing dry land, but Yahweh had yet to make it rain for plants to grow. A spring arose and God took some moist clay and made Adam from it. He made Eve from Adam's rib. In both creation stories, the basics were already there - the waters, the dry land, the wind and therefore the air. Many experts in Hebrew have carefully examined the texts and confirm that this is what they say.
