I believe Stein's premise was the lack "free speech" in the science classroom. Which is laughably ridiculous, as well harmful. That's the problem.
Have you been to any college classes lately?

That seems to be at least one of the major themes of the movie from what I have heard, but I thought one of the messages of the commercial, at least, was to challenge those scientists and academics who think of life as no more than a certain arrangement of matter. That’s just my subjective take.
I believe that science is one of the glories of Western civilization. I am grateful to it for its many useful results. I want scientists to continue their work, as long as they don’t harm living things. I don’t want religious dogma to substitute for science, even if I believe that dogma.
What I find disturbing is the arrogance of some scientists and their ideological allies who pretend that they really understand life.
I used to think it was ridiculous too, then, things happened I could see first hand like “Christmas” disappeared from the school calendar here with no explanation, later found out the Georgia ACLU threatened legal action, and predictably, like a tent the NEA types folded, partly because these liberal lunatic secularists don’t have a problem with it and subsequent censorship; of all things Christian particularly.
There are hundreds if not thousands of examples and science class is HARDLY excluded!
