"I take full responsibility for letting our discussions get so far off track, though you were wrong about the definition of "ignorant." It simply means you do not know something. We all qualify. "

I don't remember where I said ignorant but I will say the following. Ignorant is an adjective, adjectives are used to describe relation or modify a noun. So if I said you are ignorant of evolution, it would mean you don't know anything about evolution.

"I am offering evidence to the idea that science CAN in fact be proven to have been corrupted in the past for political reasons."

Granted. I'm not sure in what sense you mean that, so please explain further. How is evolution being corrupted for political reasons? Are they politically lying to us about the fossils they probably have on display somewhere depicting the fish with a wrist and the whale with legs?

Politics will use anything to get ahead, that's why in our discussions of government I said I don't like the governments purpose being the aquisition of power.
