Our creator is always the sole thing in its reality (before making all this for no good reason), if it's even acknowledged that it has a reality to exist in. Anything else seems to spoil the story.
And I have to say: religious stories are the most absurd thing that a large proportion of adults take seriously.
No, "the lack of thought" is to say that God was surrounded by a void. That makes no sense. The correct understanding is that all that existed was God--an immaterial mind.
