In the summer of 2004, the concept of a resource touching on the subject of faith and science was born in response to the requests from church leaders for material on this topic.

In its initial phases, a team was sent out to the Faith and Science Conference held in Denver, CO in the fall of 2004, where 35 scientists, theologians, and specialists were interviewed to share their thoughts and experiences regarding this subject.

Using this as a foundation as well as its springboard, a format was drawn out to provide a documentary experience that would meet the interests of youth and young adults.

At the heart of the road trip is the journey of two college students given the overwhelming assignment of gathering information about the origins of the universe by traveling to relevant locations around the United States and meeting both experts and bystanders along the way, all while trying to somehow reconcile the bewildering mixture of scientific data, biased opinions, and heated emotions.

Covering a staggering 7,500 miles in 5 weeks, the trip, starting on May 2nd, 2005, began in Washington, DC, went to the South, through the Midwest, and all over the Western United States.

The range of topics covered in their journey vary--including darwinian evolution, the geological column, catastrophism, faith, dinosaurs, the big bang, and the nature of mankind.
