There's no excuse for not knowing the difference. Well, maybe if you were home schooled or if you went to an exclusively crappy school. But I bet on ignorance anytime. You have to be fundamentally and wilfully ignorant to believe in creation. A select few apologists may muddy the waters deliberately to keep their ignorant followship in line.
In my experience with evangelical Xtains, not as few as you may think. I'm not saying none of them are sincere, but the charismatically evangelical churches are all around me, and thugs who "found Jesus" lead them. They actually capitalize on their shady "past"! I think of those who I actually met when I see our theists come around here to muddy up the facts, and I don't feel like much benefit of the doubt is warranted.
Mr. Hanky loves you!
