The central issue is whether Christian positions on evolution are driven by willful ignorance.
​
Depends whether the position is based on Logic, Reason, and Reality or whether the position is based on a belief and a will to proselytize.
​
But don't beliefs and and desire to proselytise essentially lead to the willful ignorance of that which contradicts?

Re: What Constitutes Willful Ignorance?
I would suggest one leads to the other. And I would argue that EvC demonstrates this constantly.
​
But it depends how you define "willful" I suppose.

I suppose the issue is what exactly constitutes willful ignorance as opposed to ignorance or sincere belief in an alternative explanation.
​
If being willful requires that one NOT believe an opposite then is anyone ever willfully ignorant?
