Im guessing it is due to gene shuffling
Science isn't just gathering factual information and data, it's a body of knowledge. It's a way of thinking about problems, and how to solve them. Science shapes everything in our world since everything revolves around natural rules.
It's thanks to computer <em>science </em>that you're able to be on this site right now. It's thanks to <em>science </em>as a whole that we have any of the technology we have today, and the cures for the many once <em>deadly </em>diseases. So, if you want to know how science shapes our world... Just look around you. =)
About 93 million miles or 150 km or 8 light minutes (don't know what that means)
Most models can't incorporate all the details of complex natural phenomena. For example, when measuring distances around the Earth it's convenient to model the Earth as a sphere, but this doesn't incorporate variations in distance because of mountain ranges, valleys and other topological features the traveler must traverse. Incorporating these additional details would make the model too complex for easy use. Since models must be simple enough that you can use them to make predictions, they often leave out some of the details.

The conformation of molecules are based on probability. It fails to take into account the electronegativity of individual atoms. And it is ineffective in showing inorganic interactions with metals and such.
