Evolution: God's Game?
Charles Darwin's theory of evolution sits at the center of this film, framed not as an argument against God but as one of the tools a Creator might use. The film traces how On the Origin of Species landed in a society that mostly held the Earth to be around 6,000 years old, and how the idea of a shared ancestor with modern African apes forced religious communities to rework core beliefs rather than abandon them outright. It walks the chain backward from mammals to reptiles to amphibians to fish, ending at a single-cell organism it calls, half seriously, the most primitive version of Adam. Creationist objections get airtime too, mainly the claim that natural selection makes God unnecessary, and the film pushes back with a Deistic reading: evolution as a mechanism so complete it needs no divine touch-ups along the way. There is no fieldwork or interview footage here, just a sustained argument for treating Darwin's mechanism and Genesis as compatible rather than opposed.
