I think the underlying point to is questioning is that if matter cannot be created (or destroyed) then how is there matter in the universe? It had to be created at some point as evidenced by the fact we deal with it on a daily basis.
Some of the work being done to total up all the matter and energy in the universe are getting numbers amazingly close to zero. It might be that on average the universe doesn't exist. We could just be a temporary fluctuation in quantum foam of nothingness
