Creation is a biographical drama film that tells the story of Charles Darwin, a renowned British naturalist and scientist who became famous for his theory of evolution. The film follows Darwin as he struggles to write his groundbreaking book "On the Origin of the Species," which propounds the concept of natural selection and challenges the prevailing belief in creationism.
As he works on his book, Darwin becomes increasingly torn between his scientific understanding of the world and his personal faith, which causes him much emotional distress and puts a strain on his relationship with his beloved wife Emma. The film explores their heart-wrenching love story, which is complicated by their ideological differences and the death of their daughter Annie.
As Darwin wrestles with his inner demons, he is haunted by visions of Annie, who serves as a symbol of his intense guilt and grief. He also contends with the disapproval of the religious establishment, which views his theory as blasphemous and a threat to their authority.
The movie is a powerful portrayal of Darwin's struggle to reconcile his scientific beliefs with his personal faith and values, as well as the toll this takes on his mental and emotional wellbeing. It provides a unique and intimate look into the life of one of the most seminal figures in the history of science and his enduring legacy.
