Don't wanna make assumptions, I'll wait for a Christian to fill me in.
But you already have. You assume that 'Christians' can tell you something that has not been recorded.
Because the bible was not written out like a Bill of Materials list we can not accuratly answer these types of questions.

It says God created X and Y It does not say from nothing X and Y were manifested. We know this because the word for Create is the Hebrew ברא bara' it means to shape or form. The Idea is like taking a lump of clay or a rock and to shape it into a vessal.
Glad to see my assumption was true and that even your own admitted ignorance would not stop you from trying to fill the gaps.
