The law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system is constant; energy can be transformed from one form to another, but cannot be created or destroyed.
At first blush it seems ludicrous to say this. Things are made and destroyed all the time. Life and death happen every minute.

Perhaps this old joke best illustrates it: he tale starts with a group of scientists who are fed up with the literal interpretation of Genesis and the creation story. So the scientists send an emissary to talk with God about the whole thing. They plan to entrap God by having a "human- making contest." The scientists think that they have figured it all out and that they can create a human being faster and better than God can. God says to the scientist, "You go first" and the scientist bends over to scoop up some dirt. At this point God interjects, "Oh no, that's my dirt, you get your own dirt."
if you make a cake, you don't make it from nothing - you make it from flour, water, sugar, etc.
EVERYTHING is made from something else that already exists.
Or, in the words of The Sound of Music, "Nothing comes from Nothing, nothing ever could .. ."
