WHAT:

The British film, “Creation,” which opened in the U.K. and other parts of the world last fall as part of the “Year of Darwin” celebrations, has found U.S. distribution and opens in limited theaters this Friday. Paul Bettany stars as the famed evolutionist, opposite his real-life wife Jennifer Connelly.

Interestingly, Bettany toured the Creation Museum last summer alongside British writer A.A. Gill, snapping photos for use in Gill’s article appearing in February’s issue of “Vanity Fair.”

WHO:

Ken Ham, president and founder of the biblical apologetics ministry Answers in Genesis and the acclaimed Creation Museum. He can speak to what the film gets right about Darwin, as well as what Darwin’s true legacy is and which parts of his theories creationists actually agree with.

WHEN:

Today and Thursday, Jan. 20-21, by appointment

WHERE:

Via phone

DETAILS:
  • Charles Darwin is credited with popularizing evolutionary thought, based on the book he released “On the Origin of Species,” on Nov. 24, 150 years ago.
  • The loss of Darwin’s daughter and his wife’s faith were both important influences on his life, which is the basis for the film’s dramatic interpretation.
  • While creationists agree with Darwin’s thoughts regarding natural selection and adaptations to aid survival within species, it is his ideas regarding molecules-to-man evolution, or species-to-species change, that they refute.
  • While Darwin is not singularly responsible for social ills such as racism and other results of the devaluation of human life, his ideas have been used to justify some of the most horrific examples of man’s inhumanity to man that we have seen in the past 150 years.
