Antoine Lavoisier
No, This assumes that the universe is a closed system, while this seems a reasonable hypothesis, the modern big bang theory actually states outright that the universe is not a closed system. Conservation of energy is also violated in the current model, the total energy of the universe is increasing.
Atomic theory, which posits that matter is composed of discrete units called atoms, revolutionized our understanding of chemistry and physics. It established the foundation for explaining chemical reactions, the conservation of mass, and the behavior of gases. The theory has led to significant advancements in various fields, including medicine, materials science, and nanotechnology, enabling the development of new technologies and materials. Overall, atomic theory has profoundly influenced the way we understand and interact with the natural world.
Refers to the routine work of scientists experimenting with an established theory without attempting to challenge the underlying assumptions of that theory.

Americans supported conservation because they felt nature should be left untouched so they could enjoy its beauty (preserving scenic nature). Some also supported conservation for natural resource management (utilitarian conservation). Another reason that arose later was for wildlife habitat protection.

The Sierra Club was established as an advocate for conservation.
