   I have never denied that, what I have always contended is that they deny   
   that it was all natural.  My example has always been Behe as a tweeker,   
   and you know that for a fact.  They are obviously claiming devine   
   intervention.  Supernatural miracles are not natural mechanisms.  You   
   have been deluding yourself and lying about what was claimed.  You know   
   why you ran from the requoted material the first time and started lying.

   You need stop lying about the situation when you know that you were   
   wrong from the beginning of your denial of what I was claiming.  What do   
   you think evolutionary creationism is?  They accept biological evolution   
   a means of creation, but they are obviously tweekers like Behe, and deny   
   that it was all natural just like Behe.  Making stupid claims that I was   
   claiming that they denied natural mechanisms for evolution is just   
   stupid when you know that I was always claiming that it was not all   
   natural with their claim about taking the Bible literally, their belief   
   in supernatural miracles, and their belief that their god was   
   manipulating nature in the past and still is.  They deny natural   
   mechanisms as much as Behe when he claims that his god was needed to   
   evolve the flagellum, and these guys are claiming that their god made   
   man in his own image, a claim that they make due to their literal   
   interpretation of the Bible.  Behe has never claimed how his designer   
   did it except for his off the cuff "puffs of smoke", but these guys are   
   outright claiming supernatural miracles.  Your lies were never needed,   
   and were only used because you couldn't deal with the reality that some   
   of these guys are tweekers like an ID perp such as Behe.
