"No, matter is not energy. It is the speed of light squared, divided by energy."

It's divided by what energy and what does that division obtain?

"The law of conservation of energy states: “Energy can neither be created nor destroyed.”

Yes.

"You have changed this law to the following: “Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, and this status has always been true.”

No. The "status" of the law is true always, else the law would violate itself.

"Your version of the law of conservation of energy is not valid. You can’t just change the wording of scientific laws."

You're trying to change the meaning of the law, not only the words. No energy was created at in the BB event, nor will it be destroyed at a later date.

“It’s divided by what energy and what does that division obtain?”

What it obtains depends on the particular value for E. This concept is very basic.

“The ‘status’ of the law is true always, else the law would violate itself.”

The law cannot violate itself, because it doesn’t validate itself. It’s not self evident. The law is only validated by experiment. This is a point of logic, and the major stumbling block for your entire argument.
