CREATION
A world-renowned scientist - and a dedicated family man struggling to accept his daughter``s death - Charles Darwin (Paul Bettany) is torn between his love for his deeply religious wife and his own growing belief in a world where God has no place.

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.
