Tonight we will be watching “Creation” in Woodburn 003 at 8pm. Please note the room AND the time change.

According to IMDB, the plot is: English naturalist Charles Darwin struggles to find a balance between his revolutionary theories on evolution and the relationship with religious wife, whose faith contradicts his work.

The main reason this movie was chosen is due to the controversy surrounding it. As of September 2009, this movie had failed to find a US distributor because the theory of evolution is too controversial for American audiences, according to its producer. Read a Telegraph article about it here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/6173399/Charles-Darwin-film-too-controversial-for-religious-America.html

SAIU recently acquired a copy of this film so now we can “teach the controversy.”

Come join us!
