Thank you so much for your caution!

Indeed, the Hebrew term for God as Creator (in the void) is Ayn Sof which means "no thing" - One without end from which all being emerges and into which all being dissolves.

It seems like whenever we get into discussions of time - whether on science or religion threads - we end up with the issue of whether God is transcendent or immanent. God is both.

In Greek, it's ouden, 'nothing', from ou de hen, 'not at all one'.

But, A-G, why would one imagine that there are distinctions of form within the void, distinctions which are vital to the existence of intellect? That is, why would one suppose that the void can think?
