Darwin was also the subject of the 2009 movie Creation. Starring Paul Bettany as the naturalist/geologist, Jennifer Connelly as his wife Emma, and Benedict Cumberbatch as career U.S. Army officer Joseph Hooker, the film dramatized Darwin’s life from the point after he lost his daughter, Annie, and his faith in God. This moment also slowed down his progress on the theory of evolution. Prior to its release, Creation had trouble landing U.S. distribution, as virtually all studios deemed it too controversial for religious America.

"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
