(Latin: "creation from nothing")
The Judeo-Christian doctrine which acknowledges ABSOLUTE creation. This dogma, which distinguishes Judaism and Christianity (and perhaps Islam) from all other religious cosmologies about the "beginnings", holds that a transcendent, eternal, uncreated, self-existent God created everything that is the natural universe(and every angelic spirit) out of nothing. It differs from the Hindu idea that God created the universe out of Him/Her/Itself and from the ancient quasi-pantheistic Greek idea that creation "emanated" from God/the gods. The concept of absolute creation is extremely difficult to grasp(perhaps impossible), since it assumes that God "invented" or "thought up" matter, time, and energy and set them in motion by His own will(that is, He had NOTHING with which to create, but really created entirely NEW things which were not already pre-existent). The Church has held to this dogma(NOT a particular VERSION of this dogma, i.e. young earth creationism, old earth creationism, theistic evolution) which has never been directly challenged (and seems to even be supported) by modern science, since most physicists agree that the universe had a beginning.

Whether a Christian accepts a 15-billion-year-old universe or a 6,000-year-old universe as found in a historical/scientific interpretation of the first chapters of Genesis, ALL believers are agreed on the doctrine of creatio ex nihilo.

Get the nihar mug.Nihon and Nippon both means Japan.
Nihon and Nippon are both Japanese ways of pronunciations to read Chinese letters indicate Japan.
I consider that the sound of "Japan" for Nihon derived from Chinese way of reading of Nihon. In Chinese they pronounce Zuban. In ancient world, Nihon changed to Japan on the long way to English speaking world.

Get the Nihal mug.Charlie Brown is a popcorn nihilist. No attacks can even phase him as his perception of reality is so damaged and bruised that he can't even perceive the real-life events anymore. If you were to slice and dice him, he wouldn't even feel it because his mind is so far above any worldly and mortal veils that he wouldn't be wouldn't be stricken down. His body parts would just flail to the ground but his mind, the only true part of a man that matters, his mind and ideas would be intact like in a fucking encrypted file for the rest of time. For the most powerful warriors of all to try it and unlock.
