I think one has to be careful to distinguish between creationism - which sets out to make explanations of how things came about, for example young earth beliefs, six 24 hour days, etc. Beliefs that do require a high degree of faith.

One area of the film that made it lose some points with me, was the decision to discuss how darwinism was connected to nazism. They didn't say anything that wasn't true or reasonable, I just don't think it was necessary to add to the film, and made it look like they were trying to show the shortcomings of darwinism on emotional grounds when they were doing such a fine job of doing that on scientific evidentiary grounds.
