Can you bury an indestructible creature? My {Darksteel Colossus} specifies it can't be destroyed, yet, my brother is saying bury and destroy are different.

Bury is old lingo. It means: destroy and it can't be regenerated. All cards using bury have received errata. Indestructible creatures do not die from bury.
For reference: {wrath of god}, compare 4th edition card with Oracle text.
Edit: note that on some cards, bury was changed into sacrifice. Those cards do get sacrificed, even with indestructible. As with all older cards, the Oracle text is leading when it comes to rules.
Like the revised {regeneration}: the card says: {G}: regenerate target creature. However, the rules say you can only regenerate the enchanted creature.

OOO, what cards were errata-d from Bury to sacrifice?????
Not sure. Source is both the apps glossary and online when googling mtg + bury. Thing is, you can't search on bury anymore.
Edit: Weatherlight {Abyssal Gatekeeper} is one.
I believe all that said something like "target player chooses and buries a creature he/she controls" became Sacrifice, while all that said bury target creature or bury all creatures became destroy cant regenerate.

Makes sense. I do believe I've also seen some cards bury themselves, that's likely gonna be sac too.
Due to frustration with indestructible I'd love to see bury return as put in yard, but then, we do have {swords to plowshares} and stuff for that...
