@#1542933:
I’m probably going to be shat all over on for this, but can’t matter be destroyed by extreme temperatures such as the surface of the sun? Isn’t new matter created with each birth?
Don't worry, an honest question won't get you shat on by the commenters, it usually will get you educated (which fundies may consider a worse fate, but...), it's only the fundies trolling with disingenuous questions who get told to die in a fire.
I'm no solar physicist, but in a nutshell, the sun is a giant, natural nuclear fusion reactor. Stars are mostly made of hydrogen (the most basic atoms, with only one electron and one proton), at least at the beginning. The hydrogen atoms get fused into helium atoms (two electrons and two protons), which in turn get fused into more complex atoms, so matter very much exists in stars. As a matter of fact, as I understand it without stars there would be no matter more complex than hydrogen around, and so no Earth and no humans. Now, of course, if you were to send a rocket into the sun, the rocket as an object would be destroyed, but its atoms would still exist. Even if it was possible for a sufficiently high temperature to "destroy" the atoms (as I said, I'm no physicist), they would simply revert to energy.
As for the second part of your question (I must admit that this one had me wincing), the matter to build the embryo/foetus/baby isn't magically generated inside the mother, it simply comes from the food eaten by the mother ^^"
