I have been involved in Christian apologetics for more than two decades. I teach Physics for a living, too.
I write these things to give folks who read this perspective of where I am coming from.

This movie was 113 minutes of emotional pleading and false doctrines. The defense the primary character in the movie gives during the class is more dramatic than useful. The entire debate ends up with a gotcha moment rather than real evidence.
At the very end of the movie, Satan shows this to be his tool rather than God's with the death of the professor and his alleged conversion just before he dies.
The Bible is very clear about what is necessary for salvation and it isn't the so called sinner's prayer (John 9:31) or just "accepting Jesus into your heart" (found nowhere in scripture) or faith alone (James 2:24).
One must:
Hear the gospel (Romans 10:17) Believe it (Heb. 11:6) Repent of sins (Acts 2:38; 2 Cor. 7:10) Confession of Faith (Romans 10:9-10; Matt. 10:32) Immersion in water into Christ (Romans 6:16-18; 1 Pet. 3:21; Acts 22:16; etc.)
As for the apologetics stuff, they could have done so much better. The Bible is excellent evidence for the existence of God and it is possible, through induction, to prove His existence.
