substantivo

Contexto: "The doctrine of creation ex nihilo is a conjunction of two theses. The first thesis is that whatever exists besides God is created by Him from nothing. Unlike a sculptor fashioning a statue from a block of stone, God does not create things by working on preexisting material. 2 The second thesis is that whether and what God creates anything from nothing is entirely a matter of divine fiat. God might not have created anything at all, or He might have created things other than those He actually did."
