English Synonyms and Antonyms
conception
An intellectual fancy is a mental image or picture founded upon slight or whimsical association or resemblance; a conceit has less of the picturesque and more of the theoretic than a fancy; a conceit is somewhat aside from the common laws of reasoning, as a fancy is lighter and more airy than the common mode of thought. A conceit or fancy may be wholly unfounded, while a conception always has, or is believed to have, some answering reality. (Compare REASON.) An intellectual fancy or conceit may be pleasing or amusing, but is never worth serious discussion; we speak of a mere fancy, a droll or odd conceit. An emotional or personal fancy is a capricious liking formed with slight reason and no exercise of judgment, and liable to fade as lightly as it was formed. In a broader sense, the fancy signifies the faculty by which fancies or mental images are formed, associated, or combined. Compare synonyms for DREAM; IDEA; IMAGINATION.
Synonyms:

actuality, certainty, fact, reality, truth, verityPreposition:
To have a fancy for or take a fancy to a person or thing.

How to use conception in a sentence?
A conception not reducible to the small change of daily experience is like a currency not exchangeable for articles of consumption; it is not a symbol, but a fraud.
The universe is no narrow thing and the order within it is not constrained by any latitude in its conception to repeat what exists in one part in any other part. Even in this world more things exist without our knowledge than with it and the order in creation which you see is that which you have put there, like a string in a maze, so that you shall not lose your way. For existence has its own order and that no man's mind can compass, that mind itself being but a fact among others.
The conception of two people living together for twenty-five years without having a cross word suggests a lack of spirit only to be admired in sheep.
A month after conception, the DNA of the fetus is already there and the organs are aligned. There is human life, is it just to eliminate a human life?
Believing that human life begins at conception isn’t religion — it’s science. But defending human life and dignity is at the core of our faith, as it was with slavery abolitionists and civil rights freedom fighters.
