Speech Proposal:
10 Conclusive Proofs God Exists
and the Bible is True
by Dennis Marcellino, author of Why Are We Here?:
The Scientific Answer to this Age-Old Question...
that you don't need to be a scientist to understand


Would your group like to have solid, irrefutable, simple-to-communicate tools for being able to present and defend God and the Bible?

Based on his uniquely broad education, training and experience that includes science, psychology, music and theology, Dennis Marcellino molds those backgrounds together to form new perspectives that help a person to an objective understanding of life and to see very clearly that there is every logical and scientific reason to believe that a good God exists... and no good reason not to... as well as every reason to believe that the Bible is ALL true and even beautiful and the ultimate resource for having a good life. In this speech Dennis gives the (... borrowing on his background in music ...) "Greatest Hits" of proofs that God exists and the Bible is true. These also include new proofs that either he has come up with or that are rarely heard. (Read the Mission Statement linked above as to why these proofs are important and needed)

Here is how the Design Science Association near Portland, Oregon
advertised Dennis' speech:


Here is the response from the president and videographer after the speech above for the Portland Design Science Association:

"Dennis Marcellino is a superb presenter! He articulated his arguments skillfully and convincingly, coupled with illustrations from his personal life's journey. His powerpoint graphics were well crafted and at a subsequent gathering he demonstrated his enormous musical talent on the saxophone. I would highly recommend Dennis to those desiring a stimulating and entertaining program."
Dr. Keith Swenson, Professor of Biology, President, Design Science Association

"Dennis Marcellino's engaging subject is delivered with a disarming, "everyman" feeling. Sometimes drawing from his extensive background in the performance music business, he has volumes to share. Also, his sax performance is simply excellent--upon hearing, one can understand why Dennis has had so much professional work in this field!"
Kevin Hogan, Videographer for the Design Science Association

There was also a great response from the audience evidenced by a lot of sales of Dennis' books, CDs and videos at the back table.

“Great Job!
Great Ministry!”
Peter Herrmann, Professional & Business Breakfast Club, Modesto, CA

"Of all the speeches, I liked Dennis's speech best. I was so touched... it brought me to tears."
Northern California Conference participant




"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, New York Times #1 Best-Selling "Chicken Soup For The Soul" series

"Dennis Marcellino has the answer. Actually, with an education that ranges from science and engineering to theology and psychology, Marcellino has many answers. But in his new book, Why Are We Here?, he chooses to answer the one question that has puzzled intellectuals for centuries."
Laura Gunderson, Clackamas Review

"Dennis Marcellino is clearly an authority on the scientific evidence that proves that God exists... a prerequisite to knowing WHY WE ARE HERE! And unlike others who give proofs, which are often difficult-to-grasp, micro-science proofs, his are simple and easy to understand. (Not having this information is like) getting on a horse and riding in all directions. If you want to settle the questions that when answered will bring true peace of mind and abundance, then I highly recommend you tune out the rest of the world and tune into what this fascinating expert has to share. "
- Randy Gilbert, Bestselling author of "Success Bound"

"Why Are We Here? is the scientific answer to an age-old question and readers don't need to be a scientist or philosopher to understand. It was written with the intent of investigating what could be scientifically concluded about theology and its related fields. Why Are We Here? is engaging reading and a highly recommended addition to any philosophy and theological reading list surveying the general questions related to the meaning of life."
James A. Cox, Internet Bookwatch

"You get an awful lot of research, thought, work and wisdom condensed into this one book. It's not a sloppy nor sentimental work but a rigorous and joyous proof."
Dave Kirby, Book Bit, WTBF-FM, Troy, Alabama

"I highly recommend Why Are We Here? as a must book for anyone's library."
Tony Trupiano, Talk Show Host, Talk America Radio Network

"Why Are We Here? was a fun book and very easy to read.
It was very enjoyable and a great read for me."
Nancy London, host/producer,
WXCI-FM, Western Connecticut State University

"Dennis Marcellino is such a prolific writer and thinker."
Susan Filkins, Rose Sparrows Literary Agency, New York

"A wonderful book! The author marries his science/engineering background with his cultural/musician experiences. This book is an A to Z about life....a sequential journey starting with the origins issue, all the way through to the end of life and beyond. You should buy 10 copies and give them to your family, friends, people in your church and co-workers!"
Steve Carr, Talk Show Host for "Destiny", WYLL, Chicago

"Why are We Here?" is a book for everyone. Have you ever wondered what Christians actually believe? Now, you can find out without having to ask anyone. Dennis Marcellino has written a well organized account of why we are here. Marcellino, who has a wide range of education, has written an organized account with out being overly scientific or overly pushy with his personal beliefs. Interestingly enough, it is his musical abilities that you would most likely know him for, having belonged to the Tokens who had the hit, "The Lion Sleeps Tonight." I highly recommend "WHY WE ARE HERE?" to Christians and "Non-Christians" alike will gain information here. Christians will have an organized account of what they believe and why. Others will have an account of what Christians believe and why."
Deven Vasko of Betsie's Literary Page

"In using science to explore what is usually an emotionally charged subject, Marcellino provides a strong fact-based philosophical approach which is compelling."
Diane Donovan, The Philosopher's Bookshelf, The Midwest Book Review

"Why Are We Here? answered all my questions, and is written in a very informative, "down to earth," manner. It is wonderful! It is one of the most helpful books I've ever read. I Love It!
Ann, Ohio

"The greatest book ever! If people would just read it and really look at what it's saying! He explains it scientifically, and there's no way that anybody can dispute it. He's a genius."
Jerry, Vancouver, WA

"Why Are We Here? should be rated one of the best in Apologetics.
I could hardly put it down."
Nate Camacho, seminarian at Calvary Chapel School of Ministry

"This book really does answer the question 'What is the meaning of life?' in a very logically satisfying and inspiring way. And it is also filled with fresh, insightful reflections on all aspects of life that uplift and enlighten the reader... Why Are We Here? gives an excellent overview of life while scientifically determining what is true and what isn't true among the doctrinal differences between the Christian denominations, world religions, psychology approaches, new age and secular philosophies. He has done a fantastic job in putting together this extremely valuable book. Obviously I highly, highly recommend it!"
Mark Stefani, Vision Reviews

"When it comes to soul, Dennis Marcellino redefines the term. His remarkable tone and feel are full of passion and soulful expression... because he is a soul completely given to Jesus." – Bob Carlisle, Grammy & Dove Award, writer and singer of "Butterfly Kisses"

"The NEW BEGINNING CD puts me into ecstasy. Dennis has been given a beautiful gift from God in his music...
It is a beautiful ministry." – Lynn Hoffman, Tracy, CA

“Dennis' message comes from a unique perspective. He speaks from authority, in effect saying, ‘I've tried everything and nothing makes one happy with oneself but a reasoned, logical realization that the God of the Bible is who He says he is, his rules are for our benefit, and I will be happier when I observe his rules’. Thought provoking and well accepted” – Larry Everson, Program Coordinator Bonneville Power, a federal agency

Letter of Recommendation from an Event Planner:

Feb. 24, 2004

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

I highly recommend Dennis Marcellino as an entertaining and informative speaker. We invited Dennis to share his conversion story and he did a wonderful job. He has a background of having reached high levels as a professional entertainer and performer and it certainly showed in his presentation as the audience of 1000 responded very well to his passion, humor and music. He also performed a couple of his songs, one before and one after the speech. Like I told Dennis in an e-mail after I listened to his CDs: The “New Beginning” CD put me into ecstasy. Dennis has been given a beautiful gift from God in his music. It is a beautiful ministry. His Christmas CD is the best Christmas CD I’ve ever heard.

As a speaker he was easy to work with and very cooperative. He stayed on schedule which is very important. He spent some time afterwards talking to conference participants, signing books and CDs and told me that he was being stopped in the halls with people coming up to him to congratulate him. For example, one woman came up and told him that of all the speakers, she enjoyed his presentation best and was moved to tears by his story.

Sincerely yours,

Lynn Hoffman
Conference Director


“Dennis Marcellino is a man of many talents and interests. His hour-long program was well-received by the audience. He deeply cares about the negative experiences people are going through in our world today, and his mission is to show that these sufferings are unnecessary and that a great solution exists.” – Bill Bennett, (review in) The Capitol Voice

8. Important Speech Topics: Dennis's speechs are aimed to help improve the spiritual health and growth of the members of the Church, and to address current concerns of the listeners to want to influence the dysfunctions in the current mainstream culture. They are also to create a way to invite family, friends and co-workers to an event where they can hear the practical reasons why Christianity is true and the best approach to life. His events also help build up the body of Christ by helping people get excited about their faith. By proving the existence of God and that the Bible is all true, that leads to a person having a greater confidence, no doubts, and increases their ability to deal with life and to present and defend their faith.

It's important to note that these drawing factors will only be as effective as they are spread out to a lot of people. That is how to ensure a good attendance.
