A teacher once showed me a magic trick. If I cup my hands around the air and take the molecules to you then they have moved. If I take the molecules and throw them at you they went nowhere. We're nothing but a molecular skyscrapers with hands cupped around us, we move, we think, we are. I am because I think I am.
Sometimes I'm creative but I cannot create. No energy is lost, no energy is gained nothing has been created only energy displaced in a more appealing way.
