I agree that the genesis effect could perhaps form a planet using
the mass of the nebula, but then there are serious defects in the
plot arising from this:

How the heck did the newly-formed planet get a sun???  The genesis
effect must be awesome indeed.  One wonders why it is being used for
*trivial* things like creating life!

A nebula is a rather extended and tenuous mass.  The genesis effect
would have to "reach out" and draw in all of this mass to collect
it to form the planet (and sun?).  Obviously the Enterprise would
have been caught in all this, as it did not have warp power.
