Does God exist? Using an intellectually rigorous, scientific approach, Marshall Brain—the founder of HowStuffWorks.com and author of the How Stuff Works series—sets out to resolve the eternal debate once and for all. With a compelling sense of curiosity, he breaks down mankind's search for a higher power, tackling such quandaries as: Who is God? What are his attributes? What is God doing and why? How does God interact with humanity? And ultimately, how can humans know with certainty whether God is real or imaginary?How God Works is an enlightening journey in critical thinking that challenges readers to boldly approach the subject of personal faith and put aside intuition in favor of objectivity and logic.

There are billions of people on our planet today who believe in a supernatural being. Muslims believe in Allah, Christians believe in God and Jesus, and so on. They believe that God is real. They believe that God answers their prayers. Many of them claim to have a personal relationship with God, as

only is the story an undeniable myth, but it lays bare the true nature of the mythological god portrayed in the Bible. Let’s open this compartment and take a look at what’s happening. How do we know that the story of Noah’s ark is a myth? We simply read it. This Bible story is filled with absurdity from beginning to end. Genesis Chapter 5 indicates that 1,556 years pass between the time that the mythical Adam and Eve appear and the time that Noah has three sons named Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And

completely separated faith from reason. The ramifications of this separation are disturbing. There’s nothing comfortable about the idea of billions of people who willfully turn off their ability to think critically; whose most deeply felt convictions have been built on a foundation of unexamined contradictions; whoseworld view involves the worship of a being so monstrous, while at the same time declaring this being to be loving and moral. How does God work? The story of Noah’s ark demonstrates

those we have today. They would rediscover the structure of DNA, the age of the universe, the existence of galaxies, the speed of light, relativity, evolution, and all the rest. The reason is because these are all fundamental things that become obvious to anyone who looks at the evidence available in nature. The scientific facts that scientists discover are woven into the fabric of reality for anyone to see and confirm. Science catalogs reality, and science has no place for God because God is
