Who else watched at least part of the Evolution/Creationism debate?

Please see my post above.
And there is a big difference between calling someone ignorant and saying people turn to ignorance. It is very Christ-like of you to immediately start throwing insults at someone who doesn't share your beliefs. Your god would be proud.

Your post is quite ironic since it just further demonstrates ignorance. Mainly because I think you don't even understand what ignorance even is. Ignorance isn't a bad thing and there's nothing wrong with being ignorant with something. I'm ignorant at how to make an iOS app, some people are ignorant on how to ski, some people are ignorant on how cars work, everyone is ignorant on how the universe came about since we weren't there and we don't know everything. Being ignorant just means that you lack knowledge, not that you're stupid or anything. Bill Nye said (in the debate you claimed to watch) he was ignorant about how consciousness came about. Did he insult himself in front of thousands of people? Definitely not. Everyone is ignorant of something and there's nothing wrong with that. For example, you seem ignorant on the fact that (like, again, the debate that you claim to watch) the main thing to get into heaven is believe that Jesus is the savior, so by me claiming that you lack knowledge, I'm not being Christ-like? Ok...?. So please, if you are going to try go start an argument, take that somewhere else.

I appreciate your enlightenment, but I don't think you even read my post, but that's ok. Finally we agree on something. Our definitions of the term "ignorant" are the same. My point was that it is somewhat arrogant and impolite to call someone ignorant, especially since most people use the term negatively. I would never simply call you ignorant, which you have repeatedly done to me. I still have yet to personally judge you on your schema based on your beliefs, like you have twice now done to me. You have judged me without even knowing me, and that, no matter how you spin it is not very Christ-like.

*sigh* I can see that I'm getting nowhere with this. First of all, I did read your post (why wouldn't I?) and I can clearly tell that you don't understand what you're condemning as a "fairy-tale". According to the Bible, God created light first, then vegetation on a later day, so by claiming the opposite, that displays ignorance in that you're arguing about something that you don't even know. That would be like me arguing that the Big Bang is caused by a God setting off fireworks and that's where we get the term "big bang", but that's ridiculous and I would be ignorant for saying that. I encourage you to actually read Genesis before you start talking about what it says wrong. If you want to take ignorance as being an insult, then that's your problem, not mine or anyone else's. The literal definition of ignorance is "to be lacking of knowledge", which again, is NOT AN INSULT. On stage, in front of thousands of viewers, Bill Nye says that figuring things out is what drive him. Do you know what it means when you don't know something? That you're ignorant, which is not an insult unless you take it the wrong way. The fact that people aren't omnipotent means that we're all ignorant, but if you want to keep equating ignorance with an insult, that's your problem. That being said, since I am obviously getting nowhere since I am talking to someone who doesn't want to expand their knowledge on the subject (like how you automatically assume that everything Bill Nye said was a true fact and everything Ken Ham said was "turning toward ignorance"), then it is pointless to continue to argue past this subject.

Good day to you sir

I love discussions, but calling each other ignorant is exactly the opposite of what I meant by "civil." Going to close my own thread.
