This may sound a bit 'weird' (or maybe not), but what are you brothers' and sisters' thoughts on using the word "create" in everyday conversation?

For example... "I created a bowl with my bare hands", or "Please create a catchy title for your essay", etc. You get the idea I'm sure.

I've always felt uncomfortable using the word "create" in conversation, unless it has to do with Allah , because to me "creating" something means for it to just appear out of thin air, which only Allah can do. In my understanding, humans make things, not create things.

Things can be made by us using materials which were created by Allah .

For example, an architect can make floor-plans for a house to be built, by using his brain, his hands, paper, pencil, other tools, etc, all of which were created by Allah already, he is merely utilizing them to make floor-plans for a house. The house can then be constructed using bricks, wood, nails, other tools & items... all of which were made using materials which were already created by Allah swt. So the house was not created by humans, rather it was made by humans.

I hope that makes sense. However I find that sometimes in certain instances "create" seems to make more 'sense' conversation wise and replacing "create" with "make" doesn't leave the sentence with the same meaning you may be trying to convey.

However, I still usually consciously try my best to always replace the word "create" or any form of this word with the word "make"/"made", etc, even if it may not be the most linguistically correct word to use at any particular time.

Am I just over-thinking this matter?

What do you brothers and sisters think?
