Do you believe; and why?

I'd say so. She (the sun) merges two hydrogens into one helium, which is slightly ligher... the mass deficit is turned into energy. e.g. photons. Heuristically speaking. That all is severely more complicated than that and this is the point where I should stop being educative about things I know very little about myself :)

...but it isn't quite like evaporating water. Evaporated/gassy H2O still is H2O and still has the same mass. With nuclear fusion, that's not the case.
