a 4 year old knows the difference. It appears it takes pointy heads with degrees and evo ideology to be uncertain.

Yet again, an anti-evolutionist expresses pride in his ignorance, and reveals that he finds a 4-year-old's level of understanding to be superior to knowledge and education...

As I pointed out in a prior post, they're unable to recognize their own incompetence on the subject, and in fact mistake it for superiority.

I think you're exactly right, with this one. There is an element of pride that, in the fact of his objective ignorance, is both fascinating and repulsive.

Its really an amazing feat of self-delusion. I find it fascinating in a way. Probably one of the reasons I like these threads.
