So you believe in something without evidence?
At least an agnostic will say "I don't know either way", i.e., whether the universe was created ex nihilo or not.
But you clearly wrote: "That would be sufficient reason not to believe the universe was created ex nihilo"
"Something can't come from nothing" <<do you agree with this or not?
"sufficient reason not to believe the universe was created ex nihilo"
is not the same as
"sufficient reason to believe the universe was not created ex nihilo"
Semantics. If you don't believe the universe was created ex nihilo then you believe it wasn't created ex nihilo.
