"If I board the wrong train, it is of no use running along thecorridor in the other direction." - Dietrich BonhoefferWhat if I did not board the wrong train, but I had been thrown into it? What if it takes me years to realize that the train I've been thrown into by decisions of generations of ancestors is traveling in the wrong direction? What if I find out that all my strife to realize my dreams are null and void because Dietrich Bonhoeffer was right? What if my decision to leave that train is a dangerous, even deathly, fight, yet my desire overcomes the fear, and I jump?I jump into a fight for freedom. And against all odds, I win?At a cynical moment, I could think I experienced life in bondage which came about as a result of the mistakes and errors of previous generations. And how that bondage originated, I knew from studying history.Now, I can experience the way of a nation in bondage. What a unique opportunity. But only if I were cynical would I think that.Comparing my life environment - a country I lived in - to a train seems a little odd, but when one thinks about it, it is comparable. If you are on a train, the engineer controls the speed and the stops, and the rails determine the destination. The only influence for a passenger is to pull the emergency stop. Or jump off the train, which is very dangerous. That is the situation of living in a socialist or communist country. That was true for 32 years of my life. Interested?

After years of pushing garbage with his D9, Dan Tucker thought he'd seen every kind of trash anyone could throw away. He was surprised the day he saw something new. The bodies of the dogs were not so new, but the live pup in the box was. When the animal protection people were called to take the pup, they were more interested in the dead dogs than the pup. When Dan found several more dead animals over the next few days, and the animal protection people wouldn't tell him why they were interested, he contacted Refuge Rescuers. They took the case, and it led to a massive drug conspiracy and even murder, before Mack, Lisa, and the rest of their detective agency solved the killing of so many innocent animals.

Shades of Shade is a coffee-table book containing a collection of my poetry and original artwork illustrating the poems. The poetry is a depiction of life, short stories, difficult topics and taboos that exist in many countries. These realities have inspired me. I hope to bring awareness and understanding of these conflicts that exist in many societies around the world. I have chosen to hire thirteen artists from different countries to showcase their varied styles and mediums of art. These illustrations depict and demonstrate the base meaning of my poetry. I am hoping this book itself becomes a piece of art.

Pseudoscience Advocates DarwinismWhereasScience Endorses Anti-DarwinismDarwin's theory of evolution, which asserts that new species are formed gradually through competition, is being challenged as empirical studies show that new species are, instead, produced rapidly through cooperation. In other words, the mechanism set forth in Darwin's theory are not the ones that result in the development of new species. The empirical evidence against Darwinism is laid out in multiple scientific books such as What Darwin Got Wrong (2010) by the atheists Jerry Fodor and Massimo Piattelli Palmarini, and Evolution: Still a Theory in Crisis (2016) by the agnostic Michael Denton. New Scientist magazine's headline "Darwin Was Wrong: Cutting Down the Tree of Life." in its January 24-30, 2009 issue, (marking the 200th anniversary of Darwin's birth) represents the overwhelming scientific truth.Darwin's theory is based on observations instead of scientific experiments. For this reason, the problem lies in the interpretations of his observations, which, historically, has been is controlled by authorities with predetermined philosophical preferences. Evidently, completely neutral empirical evidence, contradicts current evolutionary views.Thus, whereas Darwinism requires missing links that have never been found, the empirical evidence invalidates the need for missing links. Darwinism predicts numerous intermediate varieties, and its adherents blame the imperfection of the geological record for our inability to find them. Anti-Darwinism, on the contrary, predicts the absence of intermediate types, which is consistent with observations today. Darwinists posit that most of our DNA is inconsequential or junk, but anti-Darwinists assert that there is no junk DNA, a claim that aligns with empirical scientific data.Considering the aforementioned, Michael Ebifegha contends that Darwinism is broken beyond repair, but it has not been as readily or easily abandoned like other disproven scientific theories because it is a delusion.
