Based on the Law of Conservation of Energy, the correct statement is:
**Energy cannot be created or destroyed by ordinary chemical or physical means.**
This principle states that the total energy in a closed system remains constant over time, though it may change forms (e.g., from potential energy to kinetic energy). The other statements are inaccurate.
