Yes, you’ve heard right. Darwin, that staunch rock upon which all of our biological sciences are based, is too controversial for American audiences. Apparently they’re all too religious and will be offended by Darwin‘s ideas (as though they didn’t already know them), especially in a movie. Surely if they’re offended by them, then they wouldn’t go to see the movie? Anyway, moving on.

So this nation of nearly 300 million people, which houses the dominant pornography industry, can’t stomach a film with major actors in it (and no porn!), that explains how one species might give rise to another. This, despite the fact that it has been proven in many species and you can even see it in action in some instances (butterflies in the UK, finches in the Galapagos).

God help us. Oops, did I just say God? That’s right, Darwin doesn’t say God doesn’t exist. He merely says that God didn’t design and create humans, but rather that He was the impetus for life, and life spawned more life and so on. That seems to be too difficult a concept to imagine for many Americans though.
