God = The universe?

My dude Sagan said we are made of star stuff

can't energy be created under certain circumstances and situations though?

The simple answer is no. Nothing is truly created because the energy that it was made from was already present on this plane.

People argue that birth disproves this notion but think about it, did the baby really come from nothing? Did it's conception not come from already present sources of energy? The food the mother eats fuels it's growth. Then the "soul" argument gets tossed in there. I can't prove or disprove the reality of a soul but I ask this. Is an idea an actual thing? Is a memory a physical property? No, but does it make it any less real?

Ideas are very real things. Especially in the world of intellectual property.
