1. There is no mention of Hell in God’s Creation - therefore, Hell is uncreated by God or anyone else. See Ge 1:1, Is 65:17, Jer 7:31, Jer 19:5, Joh 1:3, and many instances of “heaven and earth” paired together – without “hell.”

Premise: There is no mention of Hell in God’s Creation

Interp. 1: There is no mention of Hell in God’s Creation

Lit. Hell is either physical or heavenly in nature and is included in "heaven and earth".

Hell is a third 'state' of existence: heaven, earth, hell

Interp. 2: There is no [specific] mention of Hell in God’s Creation.

Argument

A2.Interp. 2: There is no [specific] mention of Hell in God’s Creation.

therefore: Hell is uncreated by God or anyone else.

For A.2 to be true both must be true:

A2.1Interp. 2: There is no [specific] mention of Hell in God’s Creation.

therefore: Hell is uncreated by God

A2.2Interp. 2: There is no [specific] mention of Hell in God’s Creation.

therefore: Hell is uncreated by anyone else. (self-existent)

A2.3Interp. 2: There is no [specific] mention of Hell in God’s Creation.

therefore: Hell is uncreated by anyone else. (non-existent)

A2.1

A1.1Interp. 2: There is no [specific] mention of Hell in God’s Creation.

therefore: Hell is uncreated by God

A single case of something that was not specifically mentioned makes this false.
