Greg, if heat is simply motion, then when heat is released from
an explosion, WHERE IS THE MOTION? You light a match and it goes
boom. Where is the kinetic energy in a gallon of gasoline?

This is positively silly. What you describe as "stored
energy" is subatomic particles! How else would MOTION be
stored! It is not stored motion, as a motion frozen, but rather
an energy potential due to the likelihood of subatomic particles
to go on the move and create a situation where new bonding can
occur. In the not too distant past, human scientists speculated
that mice spontaneously generated from piles of dirty rags. Not
much progress has been made! This is what happens when people
describe the outward appearance of a phenomenon, without trying
to explain the process. Its the same mentality that causes
some astronomers on this message board to claim that they have
EXPLAINED why planets and comets orbit by DESCRIBING the outward
appearance of the phenomena.
