It appears that amd is equating ignorant creationists and Hitler.

Actually, I need to amend that on two fronts.

First off, it's just a matter of equating creationism and therefore creationists in general with Hitler, not necessarily ignorant creationists because, point #2, according to evolutionists/Darwinists, ALL creationists are by default ignorant. It just comes with the territory in some people's minds.

If we weren't ignorant, we wouldn't be creationists; we'd think like they do. The reason we're ignorant is because we disagree with them, the self-proclaimed intellectual elite.

They work on the mentality that the evidence in favor of evolution is so overwhelming and so compelling that OF COURSE anyone who looks at it *objectively* would arrive at the same conclusion about the fossil record that they do. Since it's so blatantly *obvious* to them that they're right, then anyone who disagrees with them must, of necessity, be doing out of willful ignorance, in totally defiance of *reason* (also as defined by them).

There is no room for thinking for yourself in their paradigm. The only way to lose the label of *ignorant* or *creationist* (which are synonymous in their book) is to agree with them, since they're sooooo smart.

For my part, I'll believe God over them and wear their labels as a badge of honor.

It is hard to deny the correlation between lack of educational attainment and being a Creationist.

But I did not refer to the poster as ignorant BECAUSE they were a Creationist - but because they were ignorant of the facts that Hitler was a Creationist who believed in fixed kinds and that his race was in the image of God, and that the Soviet Communists rejected Darwin's theory in favor of a Lamarkian mechanism.

Moreover I found their approach to be ignorance personified - in that rather than actually learning something - they doubled down on ignorance and said even more ridiculous and unsubstantiated IGNORANT things.

This isn't about belief in God - it is about a scientific theory. The dichotomy you wish to set up of atheists who accept Darwin's theory on one side and people of faith who are Creationists on the other is absurd.
