Lets look at the Bible:
Isaiah 54:16 NIV
[16] “See, it is I who created the blacksmith who fans the coals into flame and forges a weapon fit for its work. And it is I who have created the destroyer to wreak havoc;
God created a blacksmith.
Isaiah 43:15 NIV
[15] I am the Lord, your Holy One, Israel’s Creator, your King.”
God created Israel.
Ezekiel 21:19 NIV
[19] “Son of man, mark out two roads for the sword of the king of Babylon to take, both starting from the same country. [Create] a signpost where the road branches off to the city.
Here Ezekiel is commanded to bara a signpost, or create it/make it.
Psalms 51:10 NIV
[10] Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
God creates a pure heart in the psalmist.
Isaiah 43:1 NIV
[1] But now, this is what the Lord says— he who created you, Jacob, he who formed you, Israel: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
God created Jacob etc.
When God creates in the old testament, it is not suggesting that any of the above simply materially appeared out of nothing.
That's a misunderstanding about the Bible.
