Can Spirituality Be Found in the Lab?
Award-Winning Mathematician and Entertainer Proves Validity of the Bible 

(GLADSTONE, Ore.) According to a USA Today/Gallup Poll, 97% of Americans believe in the existence of God.  Still, over the last several decades, the subject has become taboo in mainstream culture.  In fact, the Supreme Court recently decided to hear a case on the constitutionality of the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools, and specifically, the use of the phrase "one nation under God." 

To entertainer Dennis Marcellino, this dichotomy seems incredible, especially since his book, Why Are We Here? The scientific answer to this age-old question (that you don't have to be a scientist to understand) proves the existence of God and the Bible through irrefutable logic and scientific evidence.  As a former engineer and accomplished mathematician, Marcellino uses a 'leave no stone unturned' approach to religion in order to answer life's most difficult questions.  

Valuing experience as much as knowledge, Marcellino draws from 35 years of searching for spiritual truth by experimenting with 22 different life philosophies, including Christianity, transactional analysis, the hippie movement, and Scientology, in order to form the basis for his argument.  As a musician and entertainer, Marcellino has been a member of many top bands, including The Tokens (famous for "The Lion Sleeps Tonight"), Sly and the Family Stone, and Rubicon.  His celebrity status has given him an insider's perspective on the lifestyle of the stars and opened his eyes to the harmful repercussions of submitting to a society that is captivated by the entertainment industry.

Marcellino's hope is that Why Are We Here? will renew the public's interest in the ideals of faith, respect, truth, and wisdom,  satisfy their thirst for "the meaning of life," and help them reap the great benefits that are available to them.  Among his proofs, Marcellino shows that God authored the Bible, analyzes the phrase "separation of church and state," refutes the process of natural selection and evolution, and explains in detail why there has to be an intelligent being behind the universe.

Dennis Marcellino has four children and five stepchildren. He and his wife currently reside in Gladstone, Oregon.

"This is a very important book that is greatly needed at this time.  I agree that the Bible should be the ultimate resource for life and living and that the world could greatly benefit from being logically and scientifically shown that this is true."
--Mark Victor Hansen, co-author of New York Times #1 Best-selling Chicken Soup for the Soul series
