How do I display/retrieve the date a file was created (using bash shell)?

I don't think such metadata exist. If there is, it should be an option on the filesystem..but anyway, the standard ones are (ACM):

The test command (using -nt) tests against the modification date (check the man page).
You can get all the detail per file with the stat command.
E.g. /usr/bin/stat <filename>
