The junk science of "Avatar"

Well, I finally broke down and went to watch Avatar today. Having read articles about how it is anti-military, anti-corporate, and how it pushes a pantheistic philosophy, I must say that while watching it, even above the latter criticisms, a two word phrase and a hyphenated phrase came to mind and those were: "junk science" and "anti-Darwinist". I'm surprised that I haven't read any critques of the movie that take it to task on the junk science in it.

With the disclaimer that I am not an expert in evolutionary biology, to the extent that I am familiar with it, I do know that it is based on Darwin's theory of natural selection. Natural selection is based on "the survival of the fittest"- well that doesn't seem to hold true on Avatar's world of Pandora. On Pandora, all the plants and critters are inter-connected so much so that when the Na'vi are threatened, all the critters come to their defense. I have to tell you, when I was watching that part of the movie, it seemed more like a Disney cartoon with all the forest critters coming to protect Bambi from the evil hunter.

I can see why this movie is so popular with the Libs who go on and on about how people are "destroying the planet". On Pandora, when you cut down a tree, you're literally putting a dagger in the heart of their planet's goddess. This is like fantasy wish fulfillment for the hard core environmentalists- their constructed vision of what we are doing to Earth made manifest in a planet with a fantasy ecosystem that is literally "all connected".

Don't even get me going on how stupid and utterly against scientific understanding of gravity floating mountains are...
