I think the inability to destroy or create matter counts as Evidence but not necesarily Proof.

It doesn't as the laws of physics as we currently know them break down at the scale and pressures involved in the very early universe.

Alright but until you can create or destroy energy/matter then you have no evidence to back your claims or dispute mine.

But that doesn't make your claim provable

A claim doesn't need evidence to the contrary to be disputed, so no thats not what you said

I said it wasn't proof, but that it was evidence. You can dispute a claim that has evidence but if you don't have any evidence yourself you're going to look like an idiot who ignores the most likely truth and instead clings to their faith.
