I just saw the movie Creation<\/em><\/a>\"\"<\/em><\/span>, featuring Paul Bettany as an incredibly persuasive Charles Darwin and Jennifer Connelly as his wife Emma, as well as a host of other excellent actors. <\/p>\n

The movie is not focused on his famous theory, although it is inevitably there in the background and at the margins of the story throughout. But at center stage, however, is the death of a child, the loss of faith, marital relationships, and the struggle of an entire\u00a0family through the sort of tragedy that is itself a key component of evolutionary theory.<\/p>\n

I highly recommend it.<\/p>\n
