Matter and energy are interchangeable, but neither can be created or destroyed. Ergo, the universe has always existed and will always exist in one form or another. God is unnecessary by the Principle of Parsimony.

1. Scientific laws are descriptive not prescription. And you appear to be extrapolating these laws beyond their comfort zone.

2. Parsimony is just a fancy way to make guesses.

Nevertheless, my argument is valid and I can see why that makes you uncomfortable.
