   Nothing there denying that natural mechanisms were involved in   
   evolution. Only your biased imagination could turn "evolution is the   
   best scientific explanation we currently have for the diversity and   
   similarities of all life on Earth" and "We affirm the established   
   findings of modern science, celebrating the wonders of God's creation"   
   Into some sort of science denial.

   You really need to learn that just because you imagine something
