Energy can be created. True or False?

False. Nothing creates energy.  If something has energy, the energy must have been transferred from something else.

Evidence is important for a scientific argument because ...

Collected evidence can be used to either support or refute a scientific claim (a question to a real-world problem). Without it, your claim is unfounded and opinion-based.
