Something from nothing is not irrational, it is indeed, how the creation came about, and no one has ever successfully accused God of irrationality!

I would agree in the case of God's creative power. He created the Universe from nothing. But in the case above we're addressing human will. Indeed, does not God's will (at least as far as we're concerned) also operate by the same principle as ours insofar as God does not make random choices but rather those according to His desires (which, fortunately for us, happen to be immutably good)?

He created the Universe from nothing.

Would you mind supplying a passage of Scripture that indicates that God created the material univers from, "nothing." And, while you're at it, you might take a stab at explaining exactly what you believe "nothing" is?

I will supply Scriptures that indicate the Material Universe was created by God, but not from "nothing."
