Is there any practical difference? We can't create matter, if that's what you're saying. But we can learn to transform or interpret previously useless things as very useful resources. For example, flint was just another valueless stone before we realized we could make fire with it, or uranium might've just been another stone before we discovered nuclear sciences. In that sense, we can indeed "create" new resources.
