“…Kesimpulan serupa disampaikan oleh J. C. O'Neill, bahwa meskipun ayat 2 dapat dipahami sebagai formula yang mengandung chaos sebagai substansi praeksistensi, hal itu kemudian diubah ke dalam pengertian creatio ex nihilo ketika ditempatkan setelah ayat 1 (O'Neill, 2002). Hanya saja, O'Neill tidak menjelaskan lebih lanjut tentang pergeseran perspektif tersebut.…”

Some interpreters have argued that the doctrine of creatio ex nihilo cannot be based on the reading of Genesis 1: 1-2. Genesis 1: 1-2 shows that the earth which was in a state of tohu wabohu (chaos) was the initial condition of pre-creation. Chaos was then organized into a new order. This paper argues that Genesis 1: 1-2 can be read, both as creation ex nihilo as well as transformation from chaos into harmony. This research is a qualitative research with descriptive-analytical method. The description of the meaning of Genesis 1: 1-2 is done through syntactic analysis, the literary context of Ancient Near Eastern cosmogony, and the relation of Genesis 1 to the world view of the priesthood. The results of this study indicate that although Genesis 1: 1-2 echoes the expression of ancient chaos, it has been placed as a consequence of God's creative act. The creation ex nihilo of heaven and earth, carries the risk of chaos which is further arranged by God into a good order. In addition, if it is related to the worldview that forms the basis of ritual, Genesis 1: 1-2 not only gives a picture of the origin of the world, but also provides a perspective to understand reality, both harmony and anomalies.

“…See Schmuttermayr (1973), O'Neill (2002), Niehoff (2013). Subsequently, I show how this framework is different from the common understanding of Genesis 1 in modern non-academic and ecclesiastical circles that have been greatly influenced by these later Jewish and Christian traditions.…”

The Nicene Creed begins with the affirmation, “I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth,” paralleling Genesis 1:1 by starting with the identification of God as Creator. Here, “Heaven and earth” is a phrase which encompasses all that is “not‐God.” Apart from what God has made, God is the only thing that exists. The Christian doctrine of creation centers on what it means to say that God has created.
