Explain the law of conservation of energy.
Explain how this affirms our understadning of how God created the universe.
Energy can not be created or destroyed -- it can only change forms.
This shows that all of the energy that is in the universe has been there from the beginning, indicating that someone or something outside the universe (God) must be the origin of energy.
