@StrictLoving: In order to be ignorant you have to deny fact.
Religion and fact rarely mix because you can't prove any of it.

@StrictLoving: And why would I do that ?
A television programme will suddenly prove the existence of God ???
You have to admit, there are a lot of unknowns here !
Several books, all said to be the word of (pick the God of your choice !)God. All written by folk who used the language of their time. All professing miracles; pestilence and characters that you have to admit are....larger than life !
And big errors too !
If you want physical evidence to ensure proof (since that's largely how it's done !) why were ALL the rules as to how to live life, given to one man ?
How do you account for factual creatures like Dinosaurs but can't for things like Angels or any other 'other worldly' entity in a holy book ?
