Could a physics professor confirm or refute this?

I just need some verification on whether or not this makes sense in the scientific world...

Please read the whole thing, if I am wrong, correct me. All answers will be read, only serious ones will be considered.

The universe has not existed forever (This natural law is verified by Stephen hawking).

The universe is a closed system. According to the first law of thermodynamics all matter and energy in the universe is already in the universe. As in, it is impossible for energy or matter to be "created" or "destroyed", it is simply conserved.

So if the universe hasn't lasted forever, and nothing can be created or destroyed, which law is broken?

In order for the universe to exist, a natural law has to be broken, it is a fact. However, nothing within this universe can break the laws of nature.

That is why a being capable of transcending all natural law is required for us to exist. A being that has to have existed forever, with no creator, who is capable of creating. The question, "but what created that?" has to end somewhere. It ends with God.

If you dont understand why it ends there, read the full question again and think. Please prove me wrong.

    You are missing another option: we don't understand enough about the universe to pin down how it was created or how everything began.

    What you are doing is not physics, it is logical speculation.
