So, more and more humans are being born each day yet you do not see that in itself as violating your law of conservation?
Also, where is your proof of the amount of energy in the universe? Maybe there is an extremely large energy store at the center of the universe from which all souls come from?
The Earth's biomass is fuelled by the Sun, so no, the birth of more and more humans doesn't violate that law. You're right, a store of energy would allow for souls. So, let's try and develop your idea a bit. By what process does this energy get into the form of souls? Or is it all souls before it enters human bodies? Do our memories survive death? If they do, then if our souls existed as part of this energy store before our birth, why do we have no memories from then?

Consciousness has nothing to do with the soul. If it did then when we sleep our soul would leave us and we would surely die. Soul = conscience, not consciousness.
If souls do not cause consciousness then we would have no consciousness after death. That is a position that is identical to mine. Without consciousness, we would not be people or even beings at all. We would not experience anything, we would not have any thoughts, at most we could be like computers. Unless you are using a different definition to the word conscience than the conventional, then we would in fact be like computers calculating morality. I hardly see that you can claim that the part of us that is "really is" has nothing to do with our experiences, feelings and thoughts, none of which would exist without consciousness.

You continue to apply your physical laws to a type of energy that our science hasn't discovered yet.
This is the whole point of evidence SuperUniverse. Evidence suggests that certain physical laws apply to the Universe. True, we cannot say for certain that these laws apply to everything in the Universe, because there are some things that do not exist yet. However, we can use these laws to work out whether our current understanding of the Universe supports certain things or not. If we discover a new type of energy that is not governed by our laws, then we need to change those laws. This is what I mean when I say that the evidence you need to provide needs to be greater than the evidence for these laws.
The basic assumption is that the laws we have apply to everything in the Universe, but that we admit that we can't say that for sure. If our theoretical understanding comes to disagree with our observations significantly, then we need new theories. Observational evidence overrules theorectical evidence, but without any observational evidence, theoretical evidence must determine our opinions on a matter. And the theoretical evidence is against the existance of the soul, and is against the creation of matter and energy, and until we have observation evidence to the contrary, or a theory that makes better predictions, we have to assume that science is against the idea of a soul, and against the idea of spontaneous creation from nothing.

You accept that matter/energy came into this universe from somewhere, correct?
No I don't. Incorrect. Matter/energy could travel between our Universe and other places, if those places exist, or it could be confined to this Universe. I see no reason to assume at present that either one of those statements has to be correct.

The proof of God's existance is all around you. It's the universe itself.
You complain of going in circles, yet you repeat an argument that I answered before. The Universe itself is only evidence for God's existance if you can show that it could not possibly have come about without God.

Seven universes, eleven dimensions, yep that's right.
Sorry, where did 7 universes come from, and how do you know that 11 dimensions is right?
