The law agrees with the Biblical account of Creation
(more than one answer)

Answer 1

Matter or energy can change from one form to the other

Step-by-step explanation:

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can only be transformed i.e. changed from one form to another. For example, mechanical energy can be changed to electrical energy.

Likewise, the law of conservation of mass/matter states that matter can not be destroyed or created but can change via physical or chemical means to conserve it. For example, matter can change from liquid state to gaseous state.

From the above two laws, it can be said that "matter or energy can change from one form to the other".
