"Epic of Evolution" seems to have originated from the sociobiologist Edward O. Wilson's use of the phrase "evolutionary epic" in 1978.〔E. O. Wilson coined the term "evolutionary epic"– Teilhard Perspective, Volume 30 #2 Fall 1997〕〔"The evolutionary epic is probably the best myth we will ever have." ''On Human Nature'', E. O. Wilson, 1978, p 201.〕 Wilson was not the first to use the term but his prominence prompted its usage as the morphed phrase 'epic of evolution'. In later years, he also used the latter term.
Naturalistic and liberal religious writers have picked up on Wilson's term and have used it in a number of texts. These authors however have at times used other terms to refer to the idea: ''Universe Story'' (Brian Swimme, John F. Haught), ''Great Story'' (Connie Barlow, Michael Dowd), ''Everybody's Story'' (Loyal Rue〔Rue, Loyal. ''Everybody's Story: Wising Up to the Epic of Evolution'', SUNY Press, 1999, ISBN 0-7914-4392-2〕), ''New Story'' (Thomas Berry, Al Gore, Brian Swimme) and ''Cosmic Evolution'' (Eric Chaisson〔Chaisson, Eric. ''Epic of Evolution: Seven Ages of the Cosmos'', Columbia University Press, 2006, ISBN 0-231-13560-2, paper978-0-231-13561-0〕).〔Thomas, Alfred K.

''The Epic of Evolution: Science and Religion in Dialogue'', Pearson/Prentice Hall, 2003, ISBN 0-13-093318-X〕〔Kaufman, Gordon. ''The ''Epic of Evolution'' as a Framework for Human Orientation'', 1997〕〔Hefner. ''The Evolutionary Epic''. Zygon, vol.44 #1, March 2009, page 3. "An enormous amount of attention has been given to constructing this myth. Such efforts commonly go under the names 'evolutionary epic,' 'epic of evolution,' or 'epic of creation'."〕
