>>I believe Stein’s premise was the lack “free speech” in the science classroom.<<

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.

Ah, hrm. I've not come across what you are discussing. I have come across a good amount of scientists that are pissed off because they have creationists telling them they don't understand science.
