How do men "alter Allah's creation"?
-
Khalaq/creation
2050 has the answer
He said "Our Lord is the One who gave everything* its creation/khalaq, then guided."
So, could changing the creation be something that is not a physical act? I am referring to the guidance part. This fits better with 4119 imo. Marking the ears of livestock is a physical act and is mentioned specifically. Wouldn't it be redundant to mention change of creation again? In fact, ghayrun/change is used exclusively for changing one's perception (1311 for instance).
*Note 'kulla shee' quranically speaking refers to something animate. See 2130 for example.

The "distortion" is the statement by satan that He will command those who listen to him to distort the religion which got has deemed for man. The distortions of Gods law that you see practised today is proof that many do not believe in the creation (Quran) of God. This is a statement of faith, not material that is why the end of the ayat reads "Anyone who accepts the devil as a lord, instead of GOD, has incurred a profound loss." I hope this explanation is helpful.
Peace.
