Ignorance is not a lie.. however feigning ignorance is.. In law you are responsible for what (truth) you know which has relevance to an illegal act. Leaders in all types of organisations are aware, there is knowledge best not to know. Well aware of this, Hitler never put his extermination orders in writing.
Religious mythologies play an important roll.. fantastic stories that capture the imagination particularly of the young.. they are a valuable teaching tool for both cultural and universal moral values. Religion is integral to and tightly bound up with culture. It provides for holidays, public festivals and celebrations. Santa Claus and the Rainbow Serpent do not have to be true.. but allow a story to be told creating mystery and some fun.. depending upon who we are.. they insulate (and protects) us from otherwise confronting too much truth or admitting too much ignorance.. That's not a bad thing at all. It has its place and it in no way needs to get in the way of your search for truth.. whoever you are.
Well in the 6000 year journey of human knowledge, ignorance played a rather important part. Thankfully the machine gun, bombers, artillery, land mines, poison gas and atomic bombs were confined, as far as megalomaniacs and despotic leaders were concerned anyway to the bloody 20th century. It doesn't bear contemplating what Genghis Kahn would have done with machine guns or Adolf Hitler with the atomic bomb! I think you get my drift.
The God Law was a proof, exposing a general truth (life did not evolve). What I am saying here is largely from my personal experience (personal truth).. However you like me have a list of truth you don't want to know.. Take care how you proceed.. the knowledge of God is both wonderful and dangerous.. King David..
2 Sam 6:9 "then David was afraid of the Lord.." and..
Psalm 111:10 "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom"
Have a fulfilling day..
