Movie explores discords within Darwin's family: Implications of evolution
Heated debate. Loss of faith. Religious discord. Questions about death, the universe and our place in it.
According to a new film, Charles Darwin wrestled with those issues as the implications of his theory of evolution became clear for society as a whole, but even more so, within his own family.
Creation, a film by director Jon Amiel that opened in January, introduces Darwin as a 40-something father working on his seminal work, On the Origin of Species, which laid out his theory that would revolutionize society’s understanding of human history.
