Certain kinds of Christianity are.
Start a thread, we'll discuss it.

or "utterly and willful[ly] ignorant".
Any belief which contradicts reality requires willful ignorance.
Christians who deny Evolution, for example, certainly are willfully ignorant.
Start a thread, we'll discuss it.

Then, as far as I can tell, whenever a creationist comes with a counter-example to an evolutionist, they only state the counter-example.
I've been called many things by Creationists, such as stupid, evil, immoral, supportive of murder, racist, accused of hating people who believe in God, a liar, and lots of other not very nice names.
You want I should provide examples?

But what really blows our minds is: who are these people's religous leaders, preachers, who are feeding them this kind of crap? It's one thing for a completely ignorant newbie to be taken in, but a religious leader? Oh, please, let that false religion self-destruct as soon as possible!
I believe it.
Remember, ICANT tells us that he has been a church pastor (leader) for many years, and what he knows about science would fit into half a thimble, and the religiously-based misconceptions and falsehoods he believes would fill a book or two.

Re: Congratulations to Kakip!!

Creationism is not recycled feces. My point is thus: Every major civilization at the beginning of time (dated around 6,000 A.D. has believed not only in a God (or gods), but in a creation. There was absolutely no way that these civilizations, separated by at most seventeen thousand miles, the world's biggest (and possibly roughest) ocean, and the world's highest mountains. Therefore, the only explanation would be that all of these stories came from a real event. If you disagree, please do so and explain your theory on how these civilizations could have communicated the creation theory over this time.
1) There are thousands of creations stories, and many, many of them are mutually contradictory.
2) People ignorant of the processes of nature made up many stories to explain why things appeared and happened the way they did. We humans are curious and we like to know the answers to why things happen. Lots of times, we make stuff up. People do it all the time.
Ever read about cargo cults?
I mean, Apollo doesn't really drive the sun across the sky in his firey chariot every day, does he? People used to belive all sorts of things about why the sun appeared to move as it does, but we know now that there is no supernatural or mystical explanation needed to explain the apparent movement of the sun.
3) Just becasue "everybody" believes something doesn't make it true.
Edited by nator, : No reason given.
