The first law of thermdynamics says that matter/energy cannot be created or destroyed.

This law is an observation that appears to hold true in all time and space, and forms a foundation for science.

Evolutionists claim that at the beginning (Big Bang) the laws did not apply and all matter and energy simply came into being out of absolutely nothing, for no reason (?).

Creationists believe that at the beginning God created all matter/energy ex nihilo (from nothing), for a purpose.

Both of these positions are faith positions about events that happened in the past and which cannot be proved. Personally I find that Creation is a much better explanation of the observations in the present. The Big Bang has many many problems for which ideas such as inflation, dark matter, dark energy have simply been invented to hold the idea together.
