If true Hawkeye, then would this mean that all living organisms are not a product of creation, but a product of some sort of re-combination of already existing matter and energy?
There are two senses of the word creation. One is creatio ex nihilo, which happened in an instant, all at once, from nothing. The other is creatio ex materia, which happened within time, from matter previously created ex nihilo. God can do both. We can only do the latter. Since God made all the building blocks, he can also lay claim to the credit for creating everything there is, even those things we've created ex materia. He also created all life forms ex materia. We might one day be able to do that too, but we would still require the building blocks that he created ex nihilo.
