Do you ever wish that you could prove the greatness of the kingdom of God to a world that increasingly is rejecting it? Do you wish that you had better things to say that show that God and His ways are superior to the ways of the mainstream cultures, and in fact could solve the problems that people are having because of those cultures?

Those “things” can be found in a book that PROVES how the mainstream perception of God and science being incompatible is false. In fact, this book, Why Are We Here?, shows how any nth degree logical or scientific investigation of what the truth is about this existence we find ourselves in and what the optimum way to approach it is will end with the conclusion that God exists, the Bible is true, the Roman Catholic Church is its truest representative, and following the Bible works better than anything else. And contrary to the public (mis)perception, even science is totally on God’s side, as is proven in this book and is expressed by one of the founding fathers of science, Louis Pasteur, who said: “A little bit of science averts us from God, a lot of it brings us back to Him.”

So given that science, logic and pragmatism fall heavily in favor of God and the Bible, and given that evolution is an extremely weak and unprovable theory*, why is it even an issue now as to what should be taught in schools? The reason why is “The squeaky wheel gets the grease”. Therefore, Catholics need to also be squeaky wheels and be armed with tools of truth to do so (which is the aim of this book). British politician Edmund Burke said, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing.” Given the devastating effects on this nation and its social statistics, and given how difficult it has become to find a holy life, especially for young people, shouldn’t we be saying something (at least to our family, friends and co-workers) and supporting those who are trying to be a voice for God in the mainstream?

“The purpose of this book” says Why Are We Here?’s author Dennis Marcellino “is to give Catholics the tools to be able to say effective things…not only for the people they encounter and the world in general, but also for the questions they themselves might have. Knowing these answers has given me greater confidence, peace, strength, deep fulfillment, great purpose, faith, and an ability to defend that faith. And that has lasted for the last 23 years since gaining them.”

(* Few people realize that for 15 years now, there has been a standing offer of 1/4 of a million dollars by a Dr. Hovind to anyone who can prove evolution. Even though it has been presented to many pro-evolution scientists, it has gone unclaimed.)

(Byline) Dennis Marcellino is an active Catholic speaker and writer who has been a guest on EWTN's The Journey Home and Jeff Cavins' Relevant Radio. If his book Why Are We Here? is ordered from Amazon.com on September 7th or 8th for the discounted price of $12.32, it incredibly also comes with $817 in valuable Catholic resources.
