So at best, you could argue that it isn't god directly who creates things out of nothing.

No. God commands the earth/land to produce forth vegetation from itself. I don't know about you, but plants require water and nutrients from the soil/earth to grow.

I don't know about you, but here where I live Earth/land can't be "commanded" to produce forth vegetation from itself.

Also, where I live, you have to have a physical body that takes up space and requires energy, to manipulate other physical objects to do certain things.

No amount of wishing, thinking really hard, "willing", or commanding things into thin air, is going to make the soil/air/water/whatever suddenly mysteriously transmutate into living plants.

Please don't be ridiculous.
