So today I was playing the piano, and then a random spider suddenly popped up from no where... So i ran for my life trying to find the spray... I think it was some sort of fly spray but it didn't just kill flys... It took me 5 minutes to find it and by the time i got back the spider was gone... I told my friend that, and she believes that the spider could be poisonous. The spider was black with 2 white stripes? It was about 3 cm in length. Anyway i sprayed the back of my piano, but I'm really scared, knowing that there may be a poisonous spider in my house! Anyway I'm from New Zealand,can spiders here kill you?

I'd like to characterize the opposing sides.

Evolution is an explanation that scientists have arrived at through measurement, experiment and hypothesis. First came the observations, and then came the theory, which was then revised as new information came to light.

Creationism, began with a conclusion ("God did it.") and worked backwards, looking for physical evidence that supports it. It accepts as a given the claim that the bible is completely accurate, and it refuses to probe deeper into a glaring question: "If God did it, who created God?"

Regardless of one's spiritual views it seems to me that the first process I described is vastly more reliable than the second.

I can't think of any other example of a widely held theory that was arrived at backwards. In this sense it seems apparent that creationism is fundamentally tainted, and that an unbiased judge (unfamiliar with both Darwin and Deuteronomy) would have to side with science.

Thoughts?

please tell me are inclination manoeuvres and eccentricity control the same thing or different things.

I read somewhere online that :when fuel approaches depletion, satellite operators may decide on omitting inclination manoeuvres and only control eccentricity. This could prolong the life-time of the satellite as it needs less fuel.

I was thinking inclination manoeuvres must involve changing of eccentricity.

Thanks in advance.

Imagine a rope wrapped around the Earth at the equator. Then think of adding "d" feet to the rope's length s o it can now circle Earth at a distance "h" feet above the equator at all points.
1. Write an equation to model this situation.
2. Solve your equation for "d"
2. How much rope do you need to insert if you want the rope to circle Earth 500 feet above the eqautor? Use 3.14 for π.

Everyone is crying that certain animals will become extinct soon, Polar Bears, Tigers, Condors and many others.
So what? Nature will provide.
Millions upon millions of animals, large and small, have had their chance on this planet and failed. That's life!
If the Sierra Club or Green Peace were around millions of years ago, interferring with natures selection we would all be fighting dinasaurs today.
If the Polar Bear dissapears, something else would take out all the seals and penguins. Sure there may be a period where seals dominate the Sourth Pole but something would come along and level out the playing field.
No animal is vital for life to thrive on earth. If one or two die out, get over it. It's nature.
P.S. Don't bring up "Global Warming" That's another issue.
