Again, the world here in which we live is said to be dualistic, having a mental immaterial part and a physical material part, both of which are of completely distinct fundamental substances. Those that subscribe to ex nihilo claim that God created the physical part out of nothing. Let's go with that for a moment. We'll tackle that issue later. The mental substance on the other hand, did not have to be created out of nothing as it already existed within the Godhead. God is a thinking, rational, and conscious being. That's the mental substance. It's eternal. So my question " where did God get the physical substance from", remains a mystery. The only place anyone can point to is nowhere (created from nothing). When we ask where did He get the mental substance, it's a little easier to answer, because God is composed of the mental substance. Mental substance is eternal.
