reation 'ex nihilo' means creation out of nothing. Most ancient religions placed implicit limits on the power of the gods, and therefore usually did not claim that creation was entirely ex nihilo.
Many experts in Hebrew have carefully examined the creation accounts in Genesis and confirm that they are not 'ex nihilo'. In both creation stories, the basics were already there - the waters, the dry land, the wind and therefore the air.

Did God create the world out of celestial gas?
AnswerThe Genesis accounts do not say whether the world was created out of celestial gas. In fact, both creation stories say that the earth already existed prior to the creation - the world was not created by God ex nihilo. And if God did not create the word out of nothing (ex nihilo), then perhaps we could say that he created it out of celestial gas.What we do know is that the world was created billions of years ago, when a gas accretion that encircled the sun cooled down and formed the planets. That gaseous accretion is believed to have been formed when a nearby supernova star exploded, sending out vast quantities of heavy elements, a small part of which was captured bt the sun's gravitational field.
Who are the Ancients?
It may not be possible to give a complete answer, without understanding the context from which it was asked.

For example, in a discussion on creation, it may be said that the ancients did not believe in creation ex nihilo (out of nothing). This was true of the ancient Jews, early Christians and the pagans, but the use of one word implies all of them.

Exegesis on Genesis 2 verses 21-25?
Genesis 2:21-25 concludes the second biblical creation story, with the creation of Eve.The second creation story is somewhat more primitive than the much later account in Genesis 1:1-2:4a, and has been attributed to the 'J' source, or Yahwist, on the basis of similarity of style and language.The story of the creation of Eve is straight forward enough, except that Eve was apparently the only creation made in this fashion. Adam was made from moist earth, as presumably were the beasts and birds, demonstrating that God did not make anything ex nihilo. The story of the creation of Eve was probably intended to add a romantic touch, since Eve was made from part of Adam.
