I have a two questions about evolution. Please understand that I am trying to understand the theory of evolution--not disprove it (Believe me, I know I don't have the knowledge to even begin to attempt that). I hope I can even explain my questions right.

First, have we ever seen a new species occur in nature? If so, what was/is it?

Second, if a species is defined as a group of animals that can reproduce fertile offspring, who does the first one of a new species reproduce with so that the species can continue? There must be some cutoff point where one female gives birth to offspring that is a different species. If that is the case, it would not be able to reproduce with any of it's predecessors. Or could it?

I need to know what the range of the function: f(x)=2cos(x/3+x/6)-4 is.

I have a guess, but I'm not sure if I'm right or not. I don't have my notes [sad, I know], so I can't refer to those. The answer I have doesn't look familiar, I tried to search online, couldn't find it, so the person with the best answer will get 'Best Answer' because I really need to answer this math problem lol. THANX.

but, you see in low atmospheric pressure, the climate is very bad and it rains a lot. also higher the altitude is, the pressure is very low. is the deserts are hot due to there very high pressure?. how are these high and low pressure formed in atmosphere?. also, i heard that as the pressure increases, the tempreture also increases. is that true? what is high and low pressure actually? please i kindly request you to explain me all these with your good explanation.

I've heard various forecasts for winter weather. Some say it'll be a mild winter and the hottest summer yet. Others say we'll plummet to -12 degrees shortly and it will be a fairly mild summer. Can anyone sort out these predictions for me, please?

Creation of the Universe in Six Days

As per the Bible, in the first book of Genesis in Chapter On e, the universe was created in six days and each day is defined as a twenty-four hours period
Sun Created After the Day

The Bible says in chapter 1, verses 3-5, of Genesis that the phenomenon of day and night was created on the first day of creation of the Universe by God. The light circulating in the universe is the result of a complex reaction in the stars; these stars were created according to the Bible (Genesis chapter 1 verse 14 to 19) on the fourth day. It is illogical to mention the result that is the light (the phenomenon of day and night) was created on the first day of Creation when the cause or source of the light was created three days later. Moreover the existence of evening and morning as elements of a single day is only conceivable after the creation of the earth and its rotation around the sun. Creation of the Sun, The Earth and the Moon

According to the Bible, Book of Genesis, chapter 1, verses 9 to 13, the earth was created on the third day, and as per verses 14 to 19, the sun and the moon were created on the fourth day. The earth and the moon emanated, as we know, from their original star, the Sun. Hence to place the creation of the sun and the moon after the creation of the earth is contrary to the established idea about the formation of the solar system.

Vegetation Created on the third day and Sun on the fourth day

According to the Bible, Book of Genesis, chapter 1, verses 11-13, vegetation was created on the third day along with seed-bearing grasses, plants and trees; and further on as per verses 14-19, the sun was created on the fourth day. How is it scientifically possible for the vegetation to have appeared without the presence of the sun, as has been stated in the Bible?
The Sun and the Moon both Emit light

According to the Bible both the sun and the moon emit their own light. In the Book of Genesis, chapter 1, verse 16 says, “And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night”.

Science tells us today that the moon does not have its own light
f. Adam the First man on Earth, lived 5,800 years ago

As per the genealogy of Jesus Christ given in the Bible, from Jesus through Abraham (pbuh) to the first man on earth i.e. Adam (pbuh), Adam appeared on the earth approximately 5800 years ago:
i) 1948 years between Adam (pbuh) and Abraham (pbuh)
ii) Approximately 1800 years between Abraham (pbuh) and Jesus (pbuh)
iii) 2000 years from Jesus (pbuh) till today

These figures are further confused by the fact that the Jewish calendar is currently on or about 5800 years old.

There is sufficient evidence from archaeological and anthropological sources to suggest that the first human being on earth was present tens of thousands of years ago and not merely 5,800 years ago as is suggested by the Bible.
Noah and the Flood

The Biblical description of the flood in Genesis chapter 6, 7 and 8 indicates that the deluge was universal and it destroyed every living thing on earth, except those present with Noah (pbuh) in the ark. The description suggests that the event took place 1656 years after the creation of Adam (pbuh) or 292 years before the birth of Abraham, at a time when Noah (pbuh) was 600 years old. Thus the flood may have occurred in the 21st or 22nd Century B.C.

This story of the flood, as given in the Bible, contradicts scientific evidence from archaelogical sources which indicate that the eleventh dynasty in Egypt and the third dynasty in Babylonia were in existence without any break in civilisation and in a manner totally unaffected by any major calamity which may have occurred in the 21st century B.C. This contradicts the Biblical story that the whole world had been immersed in the flood water

I found out a while ago after watching Smallville and The OC that the sun rises real early (5-6 AM?) in the States. In Malaysia, the sun starts to rise at 7 AM, and it only gets real sunshin-y at 8+ AM. Then it sets at around 7 PM, and it only gets real dark at around 8 PM. I'm talking about Kuala Lumpur, BTW, dunno about East Malaysia. So... When does rise and set where you live?

Just an observation: If what I found out is correct, then a lot of Americans are still sleeping after the sun is up (5-6 AM), while a lot of Malaysians are already up at 5-6 AM, when it is still dark (to prepare to pray, for Muslims, and to go to work and school, generally), and by the time schoolchildren they get to school, the sun is only beginning to rise (7 AM).

This is likely a hoax, but an e-mail is circulating around town that Tom Loffman (a meteorologist who is in real estate now) called the GM of a radio station to say a weather mass out of Siberia is going to drop down and slam California and Oregon. Allegedly, he says it's the coldest and wettest storm he's seen coming in 30 years. I have looked on noaa.gov and checked everything being broadcast locally, but nothing... We do have freeze warnings, but that's it

In Singapore, where it is only about 1 degree above the equator, if I am not mistaken, my sister said when she went there the sunset was at 7:30 pm! It is much later than in my hometown (about 6 degrees above the equator), where the sunset only varies from 5:40+ to 6:00+ pm. I'm wondering what the explanation to this phenomenon could be.
