scientifically speaking, no, this is not destroying or creating.
When it comes to conservation of energy, "creating energy" strictly means forming something from absolute literal nothing, and "destroying energy" is the revers, turning something into an absolute literal nothing.
In the first example you provided, the light is converted from photon form into heat, electron excitement, or in the case of photosynthesis, sugar, all while maintaining the exact same amount of total energy in the equation.
Second example is no different than the first.
That said, you could easily get around the "creating/destroying" thing if you suddenly had an infinite energy source, and a means of converting anything you wanted from it and into it.
Okay, light is a form of energy and energy is conserved yes that is true. So maybe create isnt the right term in this situation, but when you turn energy into light, you could say the light is generated/produced/made etc..
On the other hand, photons are merely energy carriers if you will, and are created and destroyed all the time. If they get emitted or absorbed, they either come into existence or are removed from it.
Maybe we should just agree to disagree on a couple things and move on with the thread, since I hardly imagine this was meant to be a physics discussion.

Light is often surrounded by darkness, struggling to escape. Just like Oreos.
Are shadows a creation of light? Of course not. That's like saying Oreos create hunger, which is obviously not true.
Without light, how do we know darkness? Without darkness, how do we know light? We know by tasting it, of course. No Oreo is complete without both the cookies and the cream, otherwise you wouldn't call it an Oreo.

But see, the question is, do you dip an Oreo in milk? Does one dip light/dark in something else, some other characteristic/quality to make it feel more flavored and less bland than what the Oreo itself actually is?
