[edit: Crap, I think I'm targeting the wrong person, who's arguing creation ex-nihilo here?]
Not me. Creation ex-nihilo actually assumes there was this "nothingness" and yet somehow, magically, God has always been in a "parallel" sense. So the theist position has a logical problem in that sense.
All my premises are in the argument I made in the previous page.

That's what I'm pretty much saying.
