Wait, wait, wait - this movie is about a non-elected American President going nuke crazy and taking over the world (much to the shock of South Korea) and then Bruce Willis comes in and saves the day over a non-offensive poprock soundtrack?

Negative, sir, I am a meat popsicle

I'm really pleased to see the replies to me have been acknowledging that it's misunderstanding of the basic theories, not the rejection of evolutionary behaviour theories themselves. I actually wholeheartedly agree with your comment, which is why I try to present a more informed point of view on evolutionary…
