hmm..... Well, considering the following fact, I think we can make a very good guess:

matter-energy cannot be created or destroyed

If you can't create matter-energy, how is it that any matter-energy exists? and where did it come from if it is utterly impossible to create it by any means no matter how advanced your technology and knowledge are?

The two possible answers are:

1) It just is and was always there

2) Something beyond our comprehension made it

I personally think the latter makes more sense, especially considering that other facts such as the second law of thermodynamics (the entropy of the universe is always increasing) become far easier to explain; but you cannot definitively disprove the first option either.

So you assume that the something beyond our comprehension is god?

call it whatever you want, but something that can create matter-energy might as well be god.... Like, there's NO possible way, even in the most remote and advanced scientific theory, that even gives a miniscule possibility of a way to create matter-energy. If you have the capability to do that, you will also have the capability to perform pretty much all of the actions associated with god. (ie. control weather, remove microbes from an object (ie. heal the sick), teleport, shape-shift, etc.)

You've got to be kidding.

 

nononono. I'm saying if you had the capability to create matter-energy, either with technology or by some other means, it is more than likely you would also have the capability to replicate the acts mentioned in such a way that your target (ie. humans) would not be able to figure out how the hell you are doing it.

 

That still doesn't make any sense
