(1) In literature, words create worlds, sometimes known as universes of discourse. The same is true in the Bible: it is a coherent world, with a worldview and so on.
(2) In "creation", God's words create the world.
(1) and (2) are mutually indwelling. Creation includes the Bible, God's word, and is called into being by the Word. God's word creates the world and is part of it.

Lovely. So the act of writing literature is a creative act in every sense of the word.
