Matter can be created and destroyed, energy cannot be created or destroyed in a conserved system.

If you present matter with a precise quantity of its antimatter counterpart they'll both annihilate; the total energy of the system will be conserved, but the matter will be destroyed.

Conservation of mass, not matter.

There is a difference between mass and matter, the former can be created and destroyed, the latter cannot since it's a property of stress-energy.

I’ve done more research, and I’m admitting now that you are correct. I apologize. HOWEVER, it is negligible with regards to OP’s post and does not occur naturally, only by human technologies and experimentation.

Technically some of it evaporates into space every day but it’s a relatively small amount.

True, but also space dust enters in and contains oxygen. These are both water droplets in the ocean with regards to the size of the earth tho

Master absolutely can be destroyed - that's what nuclear fission is. A very small amount of "stuff" is converted to energy (heat).
