It all depends on the something to which you are referring.

Can something tangible and verifiable appear spontaneously from nothing?

Highly unlikely.

Can something take form from the imagination whereby such a concept never existed before?

Absolutely.

The supernatural, which includes any deity, is an example of the latter.
