Definition of Invent:
Definition of Create:
I can claim that I created a car which obviously isn't the same as claiming to have invented a car. As with everything else in life you have to know something about the context of the discussion. Gore's congressional record and his support for DARPA shows that he had a hand in the creation of the internet by providing research funds and a substantial one at that ($1.7 billion).

There is only one internet though, not like cars, so creating it would be inventing it. And it's not like the money he gave was out of his own pocket.
