It will be created as spoken. That's what abracadabra means in Hebrew. Of course, this is how the Holy One created the universe. "What?" you may be thinking. And G-d said, "Let there be light." People have been trying to replicate this ever since. Usually people have to cheat. But not as much as you think.
JK Rowling had a story (we're all about stories because they are made of words and words are... well, magic) in her mind. She says she just knew how to play quidich (Google can't spell it either) because she could see it in her mind. Now, she could've just thought about it over her cup of tea and had a nice giggle. Or she could've just told her kids and they could share her imagination about it. But nooooooo, she wrote it down, thus giving it power.
Now JK can go to Florida to a village that is built from the ideas in her head. She can have a glass of butter beer. I think this is the perfect example to give kids when/if they question that G-d brought the world into being by talking about it. It's a good idea to think about when we're sitting around talking. So think about what you are saying, and realize that you give ideas more power by writing them down. I'm pretty sure that during our next large war (you know, the kind that happens where we are) people will refer to the enemies as zombies. We've already talked this out, so we know that we can ruthlessly kill them without too much guilt.
Speaking of which (pun intended), why is it okay to kill zombies? Shouldn't we view zombies as people who are suffering a terrible illness? Did they choose to be zombies? Let's say your mom is a zombie, can you still double tap her? Does her zombiness out weigh her momness? What if zombies is just a euphemism for enemy? Can you kill her now? My mom is already dead, but I'll bet she'd be madder than hell if I double tapped her for any reason.
