Creation
Who's in it?
Paul Bettany, Jennifer Connelly, Toby Jones, Jeremy Northam
Plot
Creation is the powerful and true-life tale of Charles Darwin and the most explosive idea in history.
A world-renowned scientist, and a dedicated family man struggling to accept his daughter’s death, Darwin is torn between his love for his deeply religious wife and his own growing belief in a world where God has no place. He finds himself caught in a battle between faith and reason, love and truth. This is the extraordinary story of Charles Darwin and how his master-work “The Origin of Species” came to light. It tells of a global revolution played out in the confines of a small English village; a passionate marriage torn apart by the most provocative idea in history – evolution; and a theory saved from extinction by the logic of a child
