If something has never existed, there is no word for it,

nor any belief that it never existed, for it has

never been conceptualized.

 

" Creation " on the other hand, exists clearly as a word,

equally so with the other words in your sentence.

 

To say there is no creation is a contradiction, because

the word " creation " follows the word " no " -- and

the meaning of the sentence-whole depends on the

word " creation " having a meaning that was negated

by the word " no. " In that sense, there has been

creation, and will be creation again -- in fact,

there have been several " creations " already within

this message.
