Has anybody had the opportunity to play the Mario Cortez cajon put out by Latin Percussion?I'm buying one,and was looking for some feedback.I've looked at all of the other brands,but that's the one that caught my eye.

All of us here dispute creation vs. evolution.Why is it taken seriously when Darwin himself said in "Origin of Species" that if we can't find predecessor fossils to the Cambrian fossils his theory not be taken seriously?I so far cannot find any transitional fossils that have not already been debunked.Even the former noted evolutionist George Gaylord Simpson called the sudden appearance of many types of complex life forms in the Cambrian rocks the "major mystery of the history of life.

I'm beginning to see more and more as I read along that Darwin himself didn't believe it was true.

Please,only serious answers.

1.)What is dark matter?

2.)What is dark energy?

3.)How were the heavy elements from iron to uranium made?

4.)Is a new theory of light and matter needed to explain what happens at very high energies and temperatures?

5.)are protons unstable?

6.)What is gravity?

7.)Do neutrinos have mass?

I wonder how many of you will consider this "religious dogma"?

Might I add that this article has information a lot of people in the scientific community didn't even know.

What's your input?

No bashing or slamming please.Biased and non biased opinions,but no mean attacks on anyone please.

When will the silent majority of peaceful Muslim's open your mouth,and stop the radical's from hijacking your religion?

What will it take?

This is an article on Yahoo that is modern and up to date.I realize there will be many on the frum who will try to explain it away.This article shows that none of us are innocent of wrongdoing.

The test of any theory is whether or not it provides answers to basic questions. Some well-meaning but misguided people think evolution is a reasonable theory to explain man’s questions about the universe. Evolution is not a good theory—it is just a pagan religion masquerading as science.

1. Where did the space for the universe come from?

2. Where did matter come from?

3. Where did the laws of the universe come from (gravity, inertia, etc.)?

4. How did matter get so perfectly organized?

5. Where did the energy come from to do all the organizing?

6. When, where, why, and how did life come from dead matter?

7. When, where, why, and how did life learn to reproduce itself?

8. With what did the first cell capable of sexual reproduction reproduce?

9. Why would any plant or animal want to reproduce more of its kind since this would only make more mouths to feed and decrease the chances of survival? (Does the individual have a drive to survive, or the species? How do you explain this?)

10. How can mutations (recombining of the genetic code) create any new, improved varieties? (Recombining English letters will never produce Chinese books.)

11. Is it possible that similarities in design between different animals prove a common Creator instead of a common ancestor?

12. Natural selection only works with the genetic information available and tends only to keep a species stable. How would you explain the increasing complexity in the genetic code that must have occurred if evolution were true?

13. When, where, why, and how did: a) Single-celled plants become multicelled? (Where are the two- and threecelled intermediates?) b) Single-celled animals evolve? c) Fish change to amphibians? d) Amphibians change to reptiles? e) Reptiles change to birds? (The lungs, bones, eyes, reproductive organs, heart, method of locomotion, body covering, etc., are all very different!) How did the intermediate forms live?

14. When, where, why, how, and from what did: a) Whales evolve? b) Sea horses evolve? c) Bats evolve? d) Eyes evolve? e) Ears evolve? f) Hair, skin, feathers, scales, nails, claws, etc., evolve?

15. Which evolved first (how, and how long, did it work without the others)? a) The digestive system, the food to be digested, the appetite, the ability to find and eat the food, the digestive juices, or the body’s resistance to its own digestive juice (stomach, intestines, etc.)? b) The drive to reproduce or the ability to reproduce? c) The lungs, the mucus lining to protect them, the throat, or the perfect mixture of gases to be breathed into the lungs? d) DNA or RNA to carry the DNA message to cell parts? e) The termite or the flagella in its intestines that actually digest the cellulose? f) The plants or the insects that live on and pollinate the plants? g) The bones, ligaments, tendons, blood supply, or muscles to move the bones? h) The nervous system, repair system, or hormone system? i) The immune system or the need for it?

If you have conducted a test on this and was succsessful.Have you had the test ran by an independent lab?Please,we need composition not in mathmatical equations.

Consider this as an enemy you cannot reason with.Imagine you can't even buy your way out of it.If you have no religious background of any kind consider your choices in this situation.
