So, there's significant ignorance (if that explanation is correct) among the evolution believers as well.
Yes there is some ignorance about evolution even among people who acknowledge it. Unfortunately if someone supports evolution does not mean that he or she understands it well. He/she understands it to some degree, to what they were thought in school, but haven't read more about it.
And here lies the reason why
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
