Incorrect. From the very beginning people were said to be born from Dust, and when the narrator said 'harnessed nature's power' it was directly implied that everything - the world, the people, the creatures - are directly created from Dust. The Darkness or Void is literally nothing, so it makes for a perfect war between 1 and 0.
