My question regarding this trailer...
It makes the conflict all be based around science vs faith. There is a priest saying this is against god. The wife saying "but that was before Adam and Eve!"
However, when reading Wikipedia about the history of Altamira cave, it doesn´t even mention religion.
The whole issue was that scientists of the time accused the discoverer of forgery because they believed pre-historic man was a brute incapable of paintings.
"When the discovery was first made public in 1880, it led to a bitter public controversy between experts which continued into the early 20th century, since many did not believe prehistoric man had the intellectual capacity to produce any kind of artistic expression. The acknowledgment of the authenticity of the paintings, which finally came in 1902, changed the perception of prehistoric human beings."
" resulting in a much acclaimed publication in 1880 which interpreted the paintings as Paleolithic in origin. The French specialists, led by Gabriel de Mortillet and Emile Cartailhac, were particularly adamant in rejecting the hypothesis of Sautuola and Piera, and their findings were loudly ridiculed at the 1880 Prehistorical Congress in Lisbon. Due to the supreme artistic quality, and the exceptional state of conservation of the paintings, Sautuola was even accused of forgery. A fellow countryman maintained that the paintings had been produced by a contemporary artist, on Sautuola's orders.
It was not until 1902, when several other findings of prehistoric paintings had served to render the hypothesis of the extreme antiquity of the Altamira paintings less offensive, that the scientific society retracted their opposition to the Spaniards. That year, Emile Cartailhac emphatically admitted his mistake in the famous article, "Mea culpa d'un sceptique", published in the journal L'Anthropologie. Sautuola, having died 14 years earlier, did not live to enjoy his rehabilitation."

What I want to know is if anybody here knows more about this. Is the trailer just trying to stir religious controversy (maybe the religious part is a small part of the movie)
there were already pre-historic congresses around Europe at that time. As far as I understand, most people working with natural sciences were already convinced about dinossaurs existing before mammals (and thus rendering creationism nonsense) by the first 2 decades of the 19th century...
