I was incredulous when reading this forum on examples of willful ignorance (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=442216&page=1).
One example of ignorance that I have never understood is when people equate the existence of dinosaurs to the existence of unicorns. This belief is usually accompanied by the assertion that dinosaur bones were put on this earth to test our faith. The part that I don't understand is why the acceptance of scientific observations necessitates a disbelief in religious faith. People need to realize that invalidating the theories borne from scientific observations also invalidates the technologies that these theories enable.
What are some examples of willful ignorance that you have witnessed?
