I think before we go into any of the said topics in this thread, some major questions need to be addressed:

"the person will start creating things in the void, using his or her imagination"
Create things how?
"If you create something good in your void,"
How do you define good?

While a very interesting idea, it seems your idea is lacking in foundation. I realize the specifics of your example aren't as important as the concept of self-creation, but I thought that should be addressed. As for your speculation, there's a problem of infinite regress. Say that we are part of a universe created from the "eternity of creating" of a more powerful being. In turn, we take part in the eternity of creating, and within our created universe emerges other sentient beings. In turn they partake in an eternity of creating.
You can see where this is going. Nothing is proven. I believe it is a generally accepted view that such logical patterns are not worth following. You can believe it, but it's not useful in argumentation.
