I've often heard theists (ID supporters, specifically) say that "something can't come from nothing".
So, did god create something from nothing?
If so, how?

God created the universe from one of his ribs.

That question is philosophically flawed. It does not apply to a theist because most theists hold to the position that their god can operate outside the laws of the natural universe (Creating from nothing). However, this question does apply to a naturalist because their world view only allows for naturalistic explanations and rules out supernatural causes.

Yes. That is what is meant by the term "created"
as in, In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.\
Consider polonium found in rocks, the half life of which is so short, the rocks basically must have been not there, then-there immediately.

The nothing before the "Big Bang" is the Infinite void of the multidimensional Greater Cosmos that contains the potentials of existence. Everything comes from nothing and one day in the far, far future everything will fade away into nothing.

Something can not come from nothing, but as long as God has been there, there was never nothing. All that we see, came from Him. Just because we can't see Him physically, does not mean He's not there.

Theism or Atheism, it's all the same. Either you believe that God created everything out of nothing, or you believe the Big Bang did.

Good question ........and did god himself originate from nothung ?
Polonium has a short half-life, but it is continually being replenished by the breakdown of longer lasting isotopes like uranium.

Your question assumes the universe is all that exists. Before the universe existed, God was.

the bible says that the earth was already there, but God created everything else. how? it's called faith. if there were concrete explainations and scientific proof, there would be no need for it, now would there?
