I don't understand what the big deal is, really.
​
Yeah, I don't either. On one hand, there's science, which brought you such technologies as medicine and the computer you're reading this on, and then on the other hand, there's religious, superstitious claptrap, which brought us such things as a flat Earth and bleeding as treatment.
​
Not a hard choice, I guess. How about we get back to the topic, which you don't appear to know anything about?

So behavior can be explained by genes? Interesting.

I think you missed his point. I think he's saying that behavior isn't just nature or nurture - it isn't even just nature and nurture. It's way more complicated than that.
