I am trying to insert all values of one table into another. But the insert statement accepts values, but i would like it to accept a select * from the initial_Table. Is this

From here:
SELECT * INTO new_table_name [IN externaldatabase] FROM old_tablename
You can insert using a Sub-query as follows:
INSERT INTO new_table (columns....) SELECT columns.... FROM initial_table where column=value
