Well worth seeing if you want to see a portrait of Darwin the man, as opposed to the naturalist and explorer, since most of the movie covers him wrestling with his conscience over the logically imminent demise of God as the creator of all living things, as well as his grief over the loss of his precociously smart (but slightly creepy) oldest child, Annie.
And look, here’s what some hilarious Christians had to say about Darwin recently (note the Godwin-troll in the middle):
I honestly don’t see how pointing out the inadequacy of Lamarckian theory is supposed to support their opposition to the Darwinian model, but then I guess this is Christian logic, which by definition transcends regular logic ;)The Darwin Anniversary
November 24, 2009, is the 150th anniversary of the publication of Origin of Species. How should we respond?
by standing strong
maybe we should not respond at all.
Perhaps watch “Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed”?
I tweeted, perhaps unwisely, “Darwin sucks more than Hitler”.
Why dont we celebrate jean lemark while we’re at it? Both theories are just as false as each other.
yeah Mitchell Lemarks therory that a a species will change one a period of time is stupid. I always look at those African people who over a couple of centuries have lengthened their necks with large rings. None of their offspring have ever been born with long necks, just the ones God gave them!
@Rhonda: all too true!!
Rhonda, that is the best comment – wish I had thought of it!
