Creation for all - just not in America
A new biographical film of Charles Darwin called Creation has just been released worldwide.
However, it appears that none of the American distributors would consider touching it due to differing opinions about evolution vs creationism.
Despite the fact that this film is getting rave reviews, it seems like the US is going to miss out.
So, what's going on over there? Is it really too controversial for Americans to handle?
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
Looks good, glad it's getting good reviews. But why call it Creation? That makes me a little edgy.
I would have thought releasing it in the US was a no brainer. For some reason evolution is controversial - ticket sales would have been enormous.

Something tells me we haven't seen the last of foreshadowing.
