'If you look at Africa, US fundamentalism, and the Muslim world, you realise evolution supporters are outnumbered by creationists. Yet these are people who have deliberately chosen to be ignorant. They are flat-Earthers without the sophistication. We need a Darwin Day to counter that ignorance.'

What can we do to counter such amazing arrogance?

You are clearly like those ignorant third world people, who believe Americans are arrogant, simply because they are educated. If you truly believed God created the Universe, you would be using the intelligence God gave you to examine his creation, and thereby learn directly from the hand of God, instead of some man made book, no matter how divinely inspired. The truism "Actions speak louder than words" comes to mind when I think of all those Creationists out there, who can hear the words of bible, but not the hand of God in the world around them. If God had wanted us to be ignorant animals, he wouldn't have given us the intelligence with which to appretiate his wonderful creation. Those people out there who think they are close to God because they have studied some book are wrong. It's scientists who are the closest to God, who have studied his creation, and are continually struck with awe at it's elegance. It's scientists like Darwin, who realise how little we really know, and the arrogant Creationists who think they have all the answers. When you fail to use the intelligence God gave you, to question the world around you, you spit on God's creation.
