Why is it hard for people to realize that Evolution in and of itself is a fact? Descent with modification, the change in allele frequency from one generation to the next, etc. is tru
However what has never been observed is the occurrence of speciation.
It may represent the early stages of a sympatric speciation event (considering the dispersal of R. pomonella to other plants it may even represent the beginning of an adaptive radiation). It is important to note that some of the leading researchers on this question are urging caution in interpreting it. Feder and Bush (1989) stated:

Here's what a scientific theory is...not far from the colloquial use of "fact"
In this case, we have actually observed and tested this, so we KNOW how those molecules come to be.edit on 5-3-2012 by MrXYZ because: (no reason given)
The link you provided is misleading it is not an example of speciation.

This is nothing new to me!!
My parents have always told me I'M A STAR!!!
I agree with what you are saying too. It is not important to know what bricks are made of in all cases. But if you are going to to state you understand the inner workings of something and claim that is a fact then I would expect you to be able to demonstrate you have an understanding of the topic at a foundation level. The OP has made no such demonstration and neither has the scientific community.
Yes we belief that molecules are created inside stars but that does not mean we understand what these building blocks actually are and what they are made of.
So for the OP to state that evolution is fact is plain wrong.
There are many scientists who disagree with the principles of evolution on a fundamental level.
Gravity and therm dyanimcs are theories. The possess usefulness because they facilitate us in our everyday lifes. That does not make them facts nor does it mean we should not use them...
please feel free to continue to blindly follow what you have been taught without questioning it...
Yes they do contain energy that is why when you split an atom you get a large release of energy...
Science does not work on fact as I stated earlier it works on falsification.
You are correct molecules can create or use energy in their formation. No atoms dont create energy unless they are split. Isotopes (unstable atoms) will release energy over a period of time.
On a fundamental level atoms are made of vibrations or waves.
