...this is just as exciting as it sounds, but director Jon Amiel's main intent is to frame Darwin's authorship of one of the most important books of all time around the death of a child, Darwin's 10-year-old daughter Annie (Martha West). Between her loss and his grief, Creation is a doubleheader of misery and melancholy that serve mostly to make you look forward to the writing bits. After a bout of scarlet fever, Annie languished for weeks. She was apparently the light of Darwin's life, and the movie does not miss an opportunity...

We have evidence that it wasn't fair, that someone tinkered with the machinery of the "most trusted" poll. I got played. In real life, as they say, I love the guy. I consider Jon Stewart and The Daily Show and their freakishly talented staff to be an entire branch of government. They play a role in holding media and politicians accountable...
