I'm fairly certain that his point in the movie was not to discredit evolution, but to show that there is academic bias against ID proponents.
That was his main claim. In my opinion he failed on that.
If the film had left it at that it would have been no more than a credibility issue of the stories of those very few professors. Which, once again in my opinion and the opinion of the universities who employed those professors, Stein's point was incorrect. The stories the professors presented were wrong for the most part and wrong on the key parts.
Where the film gets a real bashing from, deservedly so, is it's tangent into Darwinism and evolutionary theory equals Nazism. Who knew it was possible for a documentary to Godwin itself.
It's that tangent that shows Stein trying to directly attack the scientists who support the model of evolutionary theory and the theory itself.
