I should expect so in a country that values free speech so highly.

Movieguide.org, an influential site which reviews films from a Christian perspective, described Darwin as the father of eugenics and denounced him as "a racist, a bigot and an 1800s naturalist whose legacy is mass murder". His "half-baked theory" directly influenced Adolf Hitler and led to "atrocities, crimes against humanity, cloning and genetic engineering", the site stated.

WTF? That is nothing more than a ridicule worthy load of fallacious bollocks. Would someone please do the honours? After reading just a small portion of that crap I need cheering up.

Maybe it's ostrich-like of me, but these days I don't bother reading any fundamentalist/creationist crap whatsover. Once you have read one lot, you've read it all.

And I don't like the taste it leaves in my mouth...

As the actress said to the bishop...

CREATION is a beautifully made, poignant movie that is very emotionally moving. With a tragic loss of his eldest daughter and suffering from poor health, Darwin becomes an underdog for whom viewers are supposed to root. The fact that the movie is so well done is what makes it very dangerous. Manure, nicely wrapped with a bow, is still manure. A lie that there is no God and that somehow we have randomly shown up here on Earth as an accident is still a lie, even if it’s well written and acted.

Tell me if you find anything, I'll do the same. My husband has been looking for it vainly since the movie first came out.

I asked my local, independent, liberal theatre if they would be showing it and they hadn't even heard of it.
