Also you state that it "has been shown", where is the evidence? According to the "law of conservation of matter" matter cannot be created or destroyed.I don't know of any mental gymnastics I've done. You are the one arbitrarily defining things. Please show logically that the origins of the universe must be supernatural. Please show that this is a necessity. Oh, and pay attention: this is how one backs up an assertion. Just because you don't understand how things work, does not mean that it is supernatural. If there is a natural explanation for the reason things without mass are imbued with mass, that makes it not a supernatural phenomena.

All kidding, aside you're wrong, there maybe no evidence for the dyslexic flamingo, but there is evidence that matter can be transformed from energy. Isn't God described as light?No. Just, no. There is abundant evidence for the big bang (CMB, Red Shift, Abundance of Elements, etc.) And redefining your god to suit your argument is just fatuous. Here is where you get to practice backing up an assertion. Provide some data that proves your Almighty god is in fact just light.

How can you even begin to dispute something from a position of ignorance?What? This makes zero sense. You are seriously standing by the idea that unless I claim to have an answer, I cannot evaluate your answer? Your example is a non sequitur.
Let me make it simple for you. If I told you I [insert any activity here] yesterday, could you dispute it?
Here's a more apt metaphor: There's a crop circle out in my corn field. I say I don't know how it got there. You say aliens clearly did it. You are asserting that I have no business evaluating the evidence for or against your claim until I come up with an answer of my own. That's just stupid.
Oh, and if everyone wants a laugh, check out how angry people are that they were duped into thinking this Hollywood film was made to praise Jesus.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
