You're the one making claims, the onus is 110% on you. If I said I found hammer head shark smoking a crack pipe in my basement quoting voltaire, I wouldn't whine at you for proof that "there is no" hammer head shark. You can't prove a negative. That's basic logic. You make the claim, you support the claim.

Energy already has a name. What do you get from giving it another one? I call my wall socket AC power, not a higher power because that achieves nothing, adds no value or understanding. You call energy a higher power. Now what. Is carbon a higher power too? We're just borrowing that as well.. What about oxygen? Wow, there are a lot of things I can uselessly call higher powers. If I eat I will shit, thank the higher powers that the prayer of eating will be answered with the colon of shitting. The universe will end in heat death. I guess your higher power has a limited life span too.
Seriously though, I'd like to know, what do you personally get out of trying to add a label or try and squeeze in a mystical element to energy? How does it increase your understanding? Energy has been and will continue to power life for a long time.. it's something you're borrowing from the universe right now, it's bigger than you and more constant, but so what?
