Interesting window into Creationism
The movie tells the story of Darwin’s journey from a man of faith to a man whose faith is challenged by his own scientific discoveries and personal tragedy. Alongside this story are interviews with Creationist ministers and their congregation who explain why the do not accept Darwin’s theories. The movie is clearly sympathetic to the Creationist position but it is not dismissive of Darwin.

The movie does fall short on science. If you are looking for scientific justification of Creationism, you will not find it here. Also, the movie does lose objectivity as it goes along, ultimately wallowing in self-pity as it portrays Creationists as victims of “culture” and “society”.

While this is not a highly sophisticated analysis I definitely found it an interesting insight into a mindset and religious tradition that seldom gets more than sound-bites.

Fake documentary
This is not a documentary about Charles Darwin, it doesn’t even deserves the title of “documentary”. This is plain and simply a creationist’s propaganda film. It exposes yet again the cheer ignorance of Christian fundamentalists regarding the theory of evolution, which proves the obvious flaw in the American education system.

The “documentary” features tiny bits of interviews with actual experts like Biologist Steve Jones, Biographer James Moore, Zoologist Aubrey Manning to name a few. But they are rapidly followed by Christian fundamentalists, leaders and church goer’s opinion, implicitly undermining the expert’s and placing them on the same intellectual footing. The film tries to give creationists an equal voice to defend their point of view, while at the same time giving them the final word on every corners. It depicts Christians talking about their life problems, former drug addiction, personal anecdotes, personal loss and other unrelated stuff… This was literally painful to watch.

The ever-so implied “theme” of the so-called “documentary” is that Science and Religion should go hand-in-hand and that anyone denying this must be a hardcore atheist materialist. This concept is of- course completely devoid of logical reasoning and has no merit in real life application, as no religious dogma is thought as fact in science classrooms, and scientific consensus hardly ever makes it through the morning sermons of the church.

Still, the documentary ends on the implied note that Charles Darwin was a theist, quoting him out of context in response to a letter in 1978. Charles Darwin was of-course an atheist at the end of his life, but as many important figures in science, he preferred the label “agnostic”. It is a subtle way of saying that he did not believe in a personal God, while avoid the actual and proper term “atheist” because it is no secret that it was despised back then. Even today, lots of people are ignorant and considers atheism as a bad thing; thanks to the everlasting propaganda worked out by the religious right, fundamentalists, street preachers, televangelists and apologists alike.

In conclusion, there’s one quote from the film that would summarize it all, it’s from Pastor Peter LaRuffa: “If somewhere in the bible I were to find a passage that said 2+2=5, I wouldn’t question what I’m reading in the bible. I would believe it, accept it as true, and then do my best to work it out and understand it”.
