Now you admit that they don't say that but you       claim that I am the one who is lying. It's perfectly clear that I have       been right all along, the claims you have been making about them are       all the products of your bullshit interpretation.              You really need to get a grip on yourself; your paranoid fear of       religious belief is on a par with the IDers' paranoid fear of science.                     >they are claiming devine intervention, that       >is denial of natural mechanism being fully responsible for biological       >evolution.
