Book excerpt: "The Evolutionary Epic is the science-inspired story that starts with the Big Bang and ends at the present with complex beings on Earth who understand who they are and how they came to be. The Epic is science because, at its core, it provides a naturalistic explanation and adheres to well-accepted science. The Epic is story because it takes an art form -- story telling -- to weave the fundamentals of physical, biological, and cultural evolution into easily understood, humanly engaging, culturally-imbedded narratives. Besides being science and story, the Epic is also education. An understanding of the Evolutionary Epic can weave many otherwise disparate courses of study together. And the Epic is spiritual, even religious, because the Epic -- and the cosmos it embodies -- elicits awe and reverence, and is seen by many as God's way of implementing a divine plan. Finally, the Epic is humanity and Earth -- the sudden dominance of a sentient species and all that implies for the planet." -- from the conference Web site.
