Creation (Film, 2009)

I disagree. I think the movie showed that he was already losing faith through his scientific studies and that process was traumatic. The death of his daughter was a nail in the coffin, as he could not believe a God would let that happen. Revolt implies a belief in God remains, and I think the movie portrayed very well the fact that it didn't remain.

And as Adrian pointed out, it's based on the historical figure of Darwin. He did in fact lose a daughter and that did have a heavy toll on his faith.
