   So you have kept insisting that they deny that natural mechanisms were   
   involved in evolution. 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.
