Disney is Making a Movie About Evolution

Date:

Disney is currently working on a new movie about evolution.

According to Deadline, Disney — the company behind movies about talking animals, flying children, and pirates-is now developing a movie about Charles Darwin, the man who discovered the theory of evolution.

Charles Darwin was an English geologist and naturalist, best known for his contributions to the theory of evolution. He established that all species of life have descened over time from common ancenstors, and in a joint publication with Alfred Russel Wallace introduced his scientific theory that his pattern of evolution resulted from the process of natural selection, in which the struggle for existence is just as similar as artificial selection seen in selective breeding.

This train of thought goes completely against Christianity and the theory of Creationism. Creationism is the belief that the Universe and Life originate “from specific acts of divine creation and not evolution.

Traffic writer Stephen Gaghan will be writing and directing, and though Deadline doesn’t have any specific details about the project, it does say it’ll be “an adventure film.”

Deadline also reports that Darwin “had a bit of that Indiana Jones-like swashbuckling spirit in him,” so if Disney takes that angle it might help make this movie a little more desirable to the people who don’t agree with Darwin’s life’s work.

With Chris Pratt’s recent blockbuster success, I would not be surprised of Disney producers choose Chris Pratt to play Charles Darwin. However, the whole evolution debate may back fire in Disney’s face.
