Would you point me to an example of an hypothesis that is taught as a fact? I can't think of an instance where this is done. If understanding of some problem has not been nailed down then there will exist competing hypotheses attempting to explain the same data. Students will be taught the competing hypotheses, and so in the jargon of the creationists they are taught the controversy.
Once a consensus is reached and only one hypothesis stands, which explains all the data, only then is it considered a fact.
I would like to hear from you an example of an hypothesis that is taught as fact. I don’t think you find any.
Self-replicating molecules do exist which is why researchers are interested in them as part of the study on the origin of life. Such molecules may also have industrial applications. I know little about it either, though I have read a few articles on the subject. To start you of see:

If you Google this topic you will find mostly creationist websites. I can look in Scientific American for you later.
that's all fine.
go back to the smallest most primitive life form known.
it's still LIFE.
life does not appear spontaneously.
in order for evolution to be true you must go back to the origin of life and replicate it through the scientific method.
it's not been done.
dead matter + energy + time does not equal life.
you need information in there.
only an intelligent creator inputs information.
the atheist must go to the Big Bang for the origin of life.
and that brings me back to - what caused/came before/was behind the Big Bang?
evolution is stupid, really....for it to be true, i ought to be able to look out the window and see a frog walking on two legs boarding the bus and counting out money - and every possible variation as well....talk about Star Trek/Sci Fi.
nah.
a leopard will never be an elephant.
a monkey will never be a man.
