The Genesis Code is a 2010 Christian American drama film directed by C. Thomas Howell and Patrick Read Johnson, and written by Michael W. Leighton.[1]

Plot

[edit]

Kerry Wells (Kelsey Sanders), a college student journalist and committed Christian, has been assigned to do a story on Blake Truman (Logan Bartholomew), the college's hockey superstar. Blake struggles with personal crisis but rejects Kerry's reliance on her faith. He is convinced that modern science has disproved the Bible and especially the Genesis story of creation. Together they discover that the creation story and science may be in perfect accord.

The Genesis Code takes on two current social and cultural issues: Evolution vs. creation and end-of-life decisions.[2] Although this becomes a romance story, it gives a look to the age-old question of how science and a book of the Bible, Genesis, may both be correct and told in a format that a normal layperson will understand.
