I truly enjoyed this movie. I love that this was the film that Jennifer Connelly and her husband Paul Bettany (star of Legion) decided to work on together. A very insightful story providing insight to not only the life of Charles Darwin and how he came about writing the remarkable book: The Origin of Species, but also the conflict between religion and science. Although the book proposes definite arguments against religion its hard to totally disqualify the existence of a God altogether. I think that this is itself a very complex argument, however personally for me science and religion and compliments of each other. Science is the evidence of what in out minds is God. To assume that no matter how many ways we can explain it and theorize it through science that everything is still a mere coincidence is only to think of ourselves as God's all knowing and all capable. Let's just take a moment to step back and see that the intricate nature of the human body itself can not merely be evolution.... although we can categorize it as such to understand and digest it, but to assume that such a complex organic machine was created by time and nothing else, just goes to show that our minds may not really poses the capacity to understand everything there is to see. The evidence that is seemingly disproving the existence of a God, is actually the proof that one exists. We are all merely suffering from variations of a God complex ourselves where we can not accept anything we can not explain to quantify, the soul is a result of bedtime stories and that morality if not based upon logic is medieval. Well you know when its a great movie when you can just talk on and on about the subject matter.
