CREATION

Annie was Charles and Emma Darwin's adored first daughter. Her death at theage of ten broke their hearts. At the time, Darwin was working secretly onhis theory of evolution and the pain of his daughter's death sharpened hisconviction that natural laws have nothing to do with divine intervention.But he became racked with anxiety about his ground-breaking theories inThe Origin of Species, and the controversy they would cause. As Darwin'stheories continue to shape so much of our thinking about human naturetoday, Creation gives us fresh insight into the private life of a man whoviewed the world in a new and extraordinary way.
