I think having a background in the life and achievements of Darwin, added to my enjoyment and understanding. It's not a documentary, its a story of his struggle with truth and the promise and repercussions it would have on those he loved. I highly recommend it. I saw Creation today and loved it.

I am wondering if this is the sole reason for naming it such, or is there another reason? I must say I am delighted by your review. As others have mentioned, the critic's reviews have been neutral at best. As an admirer of Darwin, whose courage and dedication to the truth changed the world, I will see this film regardless of the reviews. Any insight as to why it has been released on such a limited scale (fear of controversy, cost, etc.)? Michael,

It is a blot on the state but the misguided still flock to it. Why they interviewed a spokesperson from the place is a mystery. Why not interview a few of the snakehandlers from eastern Ky.

I saw this film. It's a good message... that Darwin was quite human, and very much understood the implications of his undertaking. While quite at odds with his religious counterparts, but despite his abandonment of earlier theological aspirations (and religion for himself) had no intention of making enemies of religious persons, as would others in his position. They simply brought their personal demons to him, and when they did, received the rebuking they deserved. That Ebert fella will never amount to nothin.

Is this due to religious sensibility of the cinema paying mob? What an indictment of America’s freedom of speech and freedom of choice. Not to mention education. I am probably preaching to the converted, but shame on you America!
