If energy and matter cannot be created or destroyed, that means that they share an intrinsic quality with God. They have always existed with no beginning, and they will continue to exist into infinity. Those are qualities are also given to God. Could this match up in any way with a pantheistic understanding of the universe? If I use science as a basis for my understanding, there couldn't have been an occasion when nothing existed, so energy and matter could not have been created.
Sure, but this would be a far departure from fundamentalist Christianity.
Yes it would.

Much like that God fella....
That means we can't rely on science for the truth, since humans made up the laws. They could be wrong.
