Evolution/creation 2

[Annik]

Doesn't being intellectually dishonest imply that some sort of intellectual thought has been put forward? I think in this case, what we have is a combination of large doses of delusion and willful ignorance.

In my eyes, willful ignorance is dishonest, especially when the facts are laid out on the table before you. This is something that has always irked me. Maybe not so much when discussion philosophy or differing opinions, but when it comes to actual facts, pure facts, I find myself easily riled. I have never understood how people could buy into the creation science hoax. When I was a Christian, I didn't even really know people actually, literally believed that. I would like to take the time to thank my public school district for having once science class in every year of my public schooling expect my last two years of high school. I just-- I don't understand. No one is lying to you, no one is trying to trick you. It's all just science.


(This RationalWiki article umbrellas willful ignorance under intellectual dishonesty, but it's not exactly an end-all-be-all.)
