Creation

I wonder, can you tell from the title? Once in a while I find myself surprised - genuinely surprised - at the actions and opinions held in this country. Just when I think I've seen it all...

A British film about Charles Darwin has failed to find a US distributor because his theory of evolution is too controversial for American audiences, according to its producer.

I expected some people to not like it, but to fail to find a distributor?! I think some people need to grow a thicker skin. Is this really how things are in this country now?

"It is unbelievable to us that this is still a really hot potato in America. There's still a great belief that He made the world in six days. It's quite difficult for we in the UK to imagine religion in America. We live in a country which is no longer so religious. But in the US, outside of New York and LA, religion rules."

I just can't believe it.
