Can humans create something from nothing or nothingness from something?

Not even gods or goddesses can do that :)
In many cultural Stories of Creation it is said that the Universe is eternal and all elements have been there for ever taking place in making forms which are build up and dissolved in an eternal process where the electromagnetic forse rules eveything.

G-d can do that, it is mentioned in Quran.
Science does not claim that it could do that. Right? Please

A non-Muslim doesn't really care what the Qur'an says about things.

Science claims nothing, it is a methodological system.

Indirectly science does by the claim of the Big Bag theory - but this is nonsense in my opinion.
"G-d" is to me just "a force of creation" and not a personalized being.
Edit: And this also goes for G-ddesses, who once upon a time also had a role in the now patriarchal religions.

Only G-d could do and can done so.

I’ve created lyrics and poetry. I don’t need any resources outside myself to do that. I’ve always found the idea of a god creating things from or as part of themselves more viable to the idea of a god literally creating something from “nothing”. After all, if a god is present, how can you say there is “nothing” in the first place?

I wouldn't say what we create comes from "nothing" but rather from an unseen substance. Thoughts are things and can be used to create more tangable things.
I somewhat agree with that. Yeah, its like we can dig for treasure with a lot of effort.

Not so . The singularity was. The big bang just transformed it.

I seem to sense a lack of cause here,
except for the possible 'gods' there.
Native has it right....boundlessly recreating itself !

Science doesn't claim it can do that, no.
Perhaps in the future there might be some chance of developing a way, but that's likely to be a very long time from now.

God can do it because a book said that god can do it. Nice.
What if I quote a book that says god can't do it? What puts your book above my book?

One member of the forum has asked me to quoe a verse of Quran where it is mentioned, so I give one of such verses:

Verse (2:117)

Sahih International: Originator of the heavens and the earth. When He decrees a matter, He only says to it, "Be," and it is.
The Quranic Arabic Corpus - Word by Word Grammar, Syntax and Morphology of the Holy Quran

I think there is no verse in quran that explicitly says God created everything from nothing.

Actually this is a mysterious issue and very complicated as well.
