almostwittyBBC Films co-produces a film about the life of Charles Darwin. Starring Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connolly, it looks at how Darwin’s theory on the Origin of Species impacts on his personal life, and his relationship with his religious wife.
So, a scientist battling between religion and evolution. What’s so bad about that?
Well, the film can’t be released in the United States because it can’t find a distributor. Even though it’s found one everywhere else.
I’m fairly sure there’s a Biblical quote somewhere about looking at other viewpoints and having an open mind…
