Ah but they don't deny evolution, they deny unplanned evolution. Let's say  
that we evolved near a shoreline and that as a species we lost the  
majority of our body hair because those without did better in water than  
those with and that those without didn't have any problems with protecting  
their skin as they were in water. However it is also possible to suggest  
that a group suddenly lost their body hair and thus moved to the shore  
because those that didn't suffered skin cancers (having lost their  
protection) and that this was 'meant' to happen as the water allowed us to  
attain our full upright posture which allowed us to utilise our hands more  
etc. etc. The outcome's the same, but different cause.
