Well there are good and bad sides to every element. I don't know about creating something from nothing, though. Even flames need energy, heat, and oxygen to exist. Lightning is simply a current of electrons that form an arch, or an intense bolt of electricity. Even heat, which is under firebending for obvious reasons, is the result of energy. Without energy there can be no heat. So nothing in firebending (or any other bending for that matter) is created from nothing. Fire is actually the result of a chemical reaction. However, you could still say fire is creation in a way because it creates something new from something else. But it doesn't create it from nothing.
