you can't since creation time is not stored with any unix file. there
are three timestamps you can examine:
$ ls -l /etc/passwd most recent contents modified
$ ls -lu /etc/passwd most recent access
$ ls -lc /etc/passwd most recent status change
that last one refers to the most recent time the inode contents were
changed. no creation time. never has been.
