Solarwave,
This is a good point and allows me to move on to further explain how science works. Science never thinks it has "THE ANSWER." Science only has a workable model based on evidence. We are always trying to move toward a better model to allow us to do things like, toss a rocket from here to Mars and have it actually land on Mars AND not destroy itself. We do not know exactly where every molecule of Mars will be at any one point in time but we have a workable model that allow us to calculate, with extreme acuracy, where mars will be relative to a rocket shot from another moving body, the Earth.
