Do I really need to make another post demonstrating what intellectual honesty is? Instead of just believing that a supreme infallible creator is responsible for everything and also decides for us what is moral and immoral - a worldview that is immoral by definition - I allow myself to learn things.

Crazy concept, huh? It's pretty weird how this science thing works, I know. It goes out into the real world and observes and discovers things, and changes the way we think about things in the process. It's called learning.

I believe we know nothing, and I believe that anyone who thinks they have the answers to the universe, just like religion does, is very likely wrong and definitely immoral.

You claim to strive for truth and intellectual honesty. You claim you love to learn new things and expand your knowledge. Yet, you admit that your worldview is based off of lack of knowledge, as if that somehow makes you intellectually superior by leaving room for advancement. Well have fun with your lack of knowledge of the universe. You won't offend me by remaining willfully ignorant of anything that might challenge your lack of knowledge. I am confident in my knowledge of the universe. I don't feel that i know everything about everything, but i don't need to in order to form a concrete belief in God and morality. I don't feel the need to backpedal and speak in half measures about subjects like morality and right and wrong. And for that I am thankful.
If you admit you have no clue about the universe, then why is it that you feel so vehemently that the bible or any other holy book is wrong? Maybe your lack of knowledge is restricting you from seeing an obvious truth.
