Here is a close look at the definition of CREATE.
Definition from Hubbard,
CREATE, make, manufacture, construct, postulate, bring into beingness.
From English Dictionary
To cause to come into being, as something unique that would not naturally evolve or that is not made by ordinary processes. Or, to evolve from one’s own thought or imagination, as a work of art or an invention.

The process of creation has to require some substance to create from. The substance can be physical, or metaphysical, because
“Substance is anything substantial enough to be perceived. A substance is not necessarily a discrete particle. It can also be a continuous flow.”
We are aware of physical substance; such as, wood, metal, water, etc. We may define metaphysical substance as, “thoughts, plans, computer code, etc.
Creation of something original may be looked upon as the conversion of invisible metaphysical substance into visible physical substance. The Law of conservation applies.
So all creation occurs in this universe from some fundamental substance that has neither beginning nor end. It is simply there. Cycles then begin.
The cycle of creation, survival, and destruction occur according to natural laws. Even creators are created. Survival is continuous creation. And, destruction could just be the ceasing of creation, or further conversion.
We can visualize a Universe consisting of cycles within cycles ad infinitum, where even the Creator is part of the Creation.
Thus, even Gods can be created and destroyed, and souls too.
