It isn't just other muslims who disagree with your interpretation, I have to disagree with you if you say the following verses aren't speaking of god making something from nothing.
It doesn't say god is the manipulator of static things making them variable, it doesn't say god took something then made it something else, it says he is responsible for the prime origin of heaven and earth and he just needs to say the words "be" and it is, no actions other that vocal commands.
If you can read all that and still thing god didn't create something from nothing you must have problems accepting the information given to you in black and white.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
