The game takes place in the year 1992; as Cris Formage says that the Earth is 157 years old, that would put its creation at 1835. The supposedly-recent creation of the earth as insisted by the program also alludes to the Young Earth creationism beliefs, in which people who believe in it claim that the Earth is much younger than what scientists state.

==Grand Theft Auto V==
The Epsilon Program also exists in the [[GTA IV Era]]. It is referenced on the [[Radio Stations in GTA IV|radio]] and [[Internet in GTA IV|Internet]], and the phrase "kifflom" is heard several times. [[Brendan Roberts]] may be a member of the cult. This may be a reference to Tom Cruise's religion being Scientology, as Roberts is speculated to be based on Cruise.
The Epsilon Program plays a major role in a series of optional side missions in [[Grand Theft Auto V]], where [[Michael De Santa]] becomes part of the cult.


[[Michael De Santa]] can optionally take part in a lengthy series of side missions beginning with [[Seeking the Truth]] focused on the Epsilon Program.
In July 2012, Rockstar created the [http://twitter.com/EpsilonismToday EpsilonismToday] twitter account, teasing the cult's appearance in GTA V.

In July 2012, Rockstar created the [http://twitter.com/EpsilonismToday EpsilonismToday] twitter account. This suggests the cult continues in [[Grand Theft Auto V|GTA V]], but it's not known whether this will play a major part in the storyline. Recently, the real religion of Scientology has caused controversies in the media, and it's famously practiced by Hollywood stars in LA - so Epsilonism is likely to be a central theme to the celebrity lifestyle in [[Vinewood in GTA V|Vinewood]].
