But the film does not point to the problems with Darwin's work to prove that Evolution is false. In fact, the film acknowledges that over time, species really do adapt or evolve as described by Darwin. The film pays tribute to the brilliance of Darwin, who rightly described adaptation, natural selection and some evolutionary processes.

The film pays tribute to the brilliance of Darwin, who rightly described adaptation, natural selection and some evolutionary processes.
The film's criticism is not so much with Darwin, but rather with the atheistic dogma that has become attached to Darwinism. The film points out that others have used Darwin's ideas as a panacea to neatly resolve the question of the origins of life and even the origin of species. Through brief examples, the film illustrates why the Theory of Evolution as an explanation for origins of the life requires a leap of faith in atheism that is at least as problematic as the leap required to believe the reverse. Thus, setting up the main thrust of the film.

==Academic Freedom==
The main theme of the film is that science is never served by a strict adherence to dogma. The theme of the film is that no question in science should be off the table. Therefore, a scientific mind must allow for the possibility that anything not falsifiable is possible. Contrary to this thought, forces in our culture today are fully invested in an atheistic concept of the universe and thus their interpretation of the Theory of Evolution and the Origin of Species is above reproach. These forces are fully entrenched in academia and it is policy at many learning institutions to brook no dissent when it comes to the idea of Intelligent Design Theory.
The open-mind begs the question: if we don't cannot establish with certainty whether the life was created or whether it appeared from sheer luck, then why are we forcing one of these two choices upon our academia.
Just as [[Einstien]]'s [[Theory of Relativity]] obliterated and at the same time upheld [[Isaac Newton]]'s work in Physics, the film implies that there is perhaps a great deal to learn by asking questions about the origins of life. The film shows why Darwin's work is important and in many respects valid. That said, Darwin's works should not be used as philosophical works to describe the nature of God or the origins of life.
