This is an excellent review. I'm glad that I didn't drag any of my skeptical friends to one of these screenings. These kinds of presentations fare well with creationist audiences but for those who are believers in Darwinian evolution, they are not that effective. By the way, "the standard young-earth view that God created kinds of creatures and built within them the ability to adapt to changes in their surroundings" is essentially the same as assuming a Lamarckian evolutionary mechanism. I find this approach is much more effective in planting doubt in Darwinians, since there are in fact a handful of neo-Lamarckian research programs out there.
