National Geographic, Morgan Freeman Trace The Origins Of Faith In ‘The Story Of God’

National Geographic Channel has teamed up with Morgan Freeman on a journey to trace the history of faith around the world on the feature series, "The Story of God."

"The Story of God with Morgan Freeman seeks to understand how religion has evolved throughout the course of civilization, and in turn how religion has shaped the evolution of society," the press release said.

Even Morgan Freeman admitted that the National Geographic feature series, "The Story of God," changed him in ways he never thought possible.

"Over the past few months, I've traveled to nearly 20 cities in seven different countries on a personal journey to find answers to the big mysteries of faith," he said.

"I've sung the call to prayer at a mosque in Cairo, taken meditation lessons from the Buddhist leader of the oldest line of reincarnating Lamas, discussed Galileo with the head of the Papal Academy of Sciences and explored the first instructions for the afterlife rendered in hieroglyphs inside the pyramids."

"In some places I found answers, and others led to more questions. The constant through it all is that we're all looking to be part of something bigger than us. If there's one thing I've learned, it's that we certainly are," he explained.

According to a press release, each episode of "The Story of God with Morgan Freeman" will carry a theme which can be gleaned from the titles, "Beyond Death" (airs Sunday, April 3), "Apocalypse" (April 10), "Who is God?" (April 17), and "Creation" (April 24).
