I saw the movie as well. And, having read through this thread, the cranks have been true to form--not discussing the actual message of the movie (in fact, anything but), but entering the same mental m---urbation cycle seen time after time.
Stein points out what has been enthusiastically been supported by some even on this forum: the destruction of careers due to orthodoxy driven by a worldview. As pointed out in the movie, at the heart of the matter is a worldview trying to fit science to itself. And, that the actions/debate has very little to do with science, but metaphysics (from both sides).

And the look on Stein's face when Dawkins posits that some intelligent agent (other than a god or God) 'designed' life on earth is priceless. I could tell Dawkins got flustered. I also love the backhanded compliment about Dawkins being intelligent, but 'a bit of a reptile'.

I anticipate a lot of fun watching the reactions of the evolutionists when Stein wins best film for 08.
