No, they just have a very unusual float to integer transform, which rounds
up instead of truncates. :-)

>Or by denying Evolution?

But evolution isn't a fact its a theory.

A theory that is very well supported by the facts, mind you, but still a
theory. :-)  Its no more a fact than QED.

 I think that, properly taught, a semester long discussion of creationism
"science" vs. evolution and cosmology would be a very good way of teaching
the nature of science.
