Look at this:
"created" in Gen 1:1 is defined as follows.
1254 bara' (baw-raw');
a primitive root; (absolutely) to create; (qualified) to cut down (a wood), select, feed (as formative processes): -choose, create (creator), cut down, dispatch, do, make (fat).
"made" as in Ex 20:11 is defined as:
6213 `asah (aw-saw');
a primitive root; to do or make, in the broadest sense and widest application (as follows):
KJV-- accomplish, advance, appoint, apt, be at, become, bear, bestow, bring forth, bruise, be busy, X certainly, have the charge of, commit, deal (with), deck, + displease, do, (ready) dress (-ed), (put in) execute (-ion), exercise, fashion, + feast, [fighting-] man, + finish, fit, fly, follow, fulfill, furnish, gather, get, go about, govern, grant, great, + hinder, hold ([a feast]), X indeed, + be industrious, + journey, keep, labour, maintain, make, be meet, observe, be occupied, offer, + officer, pare, bring (come) to pass, perform, pracise, prepare, procure, provide, put, requite, X sacrifice, serve, set, shew, X sin, spend, X surely, take, X thoroughly, trim, X very, + vex, be [warr-] ior, work (-man), yield, use.
They are two distinctly different words. Shouldn't we at least consider that something might be different in the two works of God?
"Make" or "create"? I see no reason to think that these are two entirely different things. Something can be both made and created at the same time.
