Ignorance vs. Stupidity

I prefer to think that most people who espouse creationist ideas are just lacking in a solid understanding of science, and continue to receive misinformation—as opposed to lacking in actual intelligence. In other words, I prefer the word “ignorant,” which while pejorative, still has its valid uses, to “stupid,” which is little more than an insult.

It’s getting harder and harder to tell which is which these days, though.
