Does freemasonry teach that the Universe was organized from unorganized matter, as opposed to created from nothing, or "Creatio ex nihil?" It would comply with the GAOTU title.
If so, that is HIGHLY illuminating... no pun intended about Illuminati, seriously. I only know two places where this is taught, and one of them is the now extinct Greek Theogony.

The Scottish Rite motto "Ordo ab Chao", is of course a mystic word rather than a political one. It alludes to the creation of the Universe.

All potters know that the clay they work with has two fundamental states; its original unformed or unordered state, and the other which is formed, or ordered into things (pots, frogs, jars and what have you). The same is true of Reality. All that is real falls into one of two fundamental divisions. By fundamental is meant that there no possibility for further division. One division corresponds to a mode of reality that is lacking in form, objectivity, definition, etc. We call this division of "kaos" the Subjective Realm. The other division corresponds to a mode of reality in which energy/matter has been ordered into forms, objects. This division is called the Objective Realm, due to the fact that it is in it that objects (thoughts, emotions, physical things) are found.
The Being that is the synthesis of Life in both realms, is called Neter in the Kamitic tradition. Its conceptualization goes beyond the concept of the Supreme God-head that is used by most spiritual traditions to represent the Supreme Being. All manifestations of itself, through which it creates, and maintains the world, including the God-head (Neb er Tcher,- Lord of the World), are called the Neteru. It is easy to see that this term is the origin of the Latin terms "natura", "neutral", "eternitas (eternity)," etc. Unfortunately, more space cannot be devoted to the subject, but discerning readers will see in the Kamitic notion about the Supreme Being, a deeper understanding than is to be found in other traditions, who limit it to the Subjective Realm.
For our purpose, a useful synonym for the world is "the Objective Realm". In this book the term "Objective" when referring to the World, manifested reality, etc. will always appear capitalized to disinguish our usage from one of its denotation,- "impartial, impersonal, unconditioned view, etc." The term, kin to "object", from the prefix "ob", refers to all that has form, and therefore denotes all that is perceptible(mentally or physically). In the same manner we will qualify the term "Subjective". Excluded is the denotation pf "partiality, conditioned view, personal, etc." The term, kin to such terms as "submerged, substrata, substance, etc.," from the prefix "sub", refers to all that is under, therefore, incapable of being perceived.
So, we have two fundamental divisions in the Realm of Being. One which is "submerged," i.e., imperceptible, and the other, perceptible. The imperceptibility of the Subjective Realm is based on the fact that in it, there are no objects. The derivation of the name Objective Realm from the fact that it is the place of objects is obvious. The importance of these concepts will be realized from the consideration of the fact that most people limit their acknowledgment of reality to what is perceptible. Yet, not only is reality not limited to the perceptible (Objective) region, it originates beyond it (in the Subjective Realm - ( AMEN) ).

Actually, the Bible also hints that the Universe was created out of "something already there". It is said that God "moved upon the face of the waters", which indicates a belief in some sort of primordial ocean. Unfortunately, it doesn't go into great detail concerning the author's belief on the subject, but seems similar to the Marduk/Tiamet thing.

The Bible first speaks of the creation from nothing.
" 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 Now the earth was [a] formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. "

First He created everything, then moved upon the formless waters that covered the earth.
He then created light, then separated the waters, etc...
