You are using a logical fallacy yet again. Insisting on logical fallacies means you are being irrational.

Science has satisfactorily proven a huge portion of the development of our universe. And we may never know all of it. But since energy can be turned into matter, the universe in its billions of years of existence could have created all matter. No god or designer necessary.

Matter can be created from energy and light. The fact that you know about matter means science told you....notice a designer or god never told you.

Science has done its job of proving natural events. They have evidence, you have a negative statement plugged into the limits of current scientific understanding that you are not fully informed about. That's not evidence. That's a mere assertion.

"Nuclear reactions in the sun and at nuclear power plants regularly convert matter into energy. Now scientists have converted light energy directly into matter in a single step." Collisions of Light Produce Matter/Antimatter from Pure Energy
