but now his focus has shifted to understanding his higher power.
Where did he come from?
How did we get here?

And why does evil exist?
ET with a deep-dive into miracles.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: What do you want viewers to take away from the finale?
There they are, so we should celebrate them rather them let them cause rifts between us.
What inspired you to pursue a docuseries about God?
McCREARY:One of the things we attempt to do at Revelations is … we call it revealing truths.
We like to reveal truths.
What has been the most powerful thing someone has told you about their reaction to the show?
FREEMAN:Weve had remarkable feedback from people who found it very interesting and enlightening and watchable.
Thats the best I can do.
Tell us about that.
God is not usually the subject of a red carpet discussion.
So I find it very interesting.
FREEMAN:We received a really enormous amount of support throughout the world, wherever we went.
It was more of a conversation.
He informed me reincarnation is not an end unto to itself.
Like, heaven is an end unto itself for us.
When we think about heaven, you know, you die and then go to heaven.
So reincarnation is not an end its a process.
And theyre not all that thrilled about it.
You also visited a prison.
Had you ever been to a prison before?
What did you take away from that?
This was in an effort to somehow discuss it around human existence within in it.
Its a very fascinating subject.
That oftentimes lends itself to these men, in their older years, committing atrocities.
FREEMAN:And is it hardwired?
This guys research says those people who grow up like that could be hardwired to be evil.
At the same time, people have claimed theres evidence for the existence of God.
What did you learn?
Theres a gentleman who studies praying nuns and chanting monks and looks at the brain.
And then he also takes people who dont believe in God and asks them to concentrate on God.
We put Morgan into that same state to see where he fell in that spectrum.
FREEMAN:Morgan felt very high up.
Downloading the human brain is something else you explore.
How is science and technology influencing the way that we think about God and religion?
FREEMAN:I think early on there was an expectation of a large separation between technology and theology.
But turns out, that hasnt come to pass.
And its still in existence.
McCREARY:And the Big Bang.
FREEMAN:The Big Bang.
And they have very credible answers for all of these phenomenons that are scientific.
For instance, the Big Bang is the scientific explanation for creation.
The church asks, Okay, so what was before the Big Bang?
Theres no answer for that but God.
How did this project change the way that you personally think about God?
Did it open you to something you hadnt considered before?
FREEMAN:I didnt change anything at all about how I think of God or my belief in God.
It just enlightened me to how other cultures do it.
Like, What?How does it work that youre a Christian and scientifically-minded person?
You dont have to believe in evolution or only be a creationist.
you’ve got the option to actually be someone who believes all of this.
They dont contradict each other.
That was a really great thing to confirm for me.
