What kind of creationism?
Evolution is not a denial of creationism (see: gene duplication, retropositioning, etc). Those things are the direct result of chemical activity that leads to new gene sequences and new species (novelty=creativity). If the process looks random it's only because the situation is astoundingly enormous. There is nothing random in genetics. There is a chemical explaination for everything (I'm deliberately not mentioning God because it would be unscientific to do otherwise, he's too big, too strange, and beyond the scientific method).
So why is evolution a creative process? Well, why not?
Who ever said a pot had to be made without clay? The clay is our common ancestors.
Who ever said the pot must form instantly? The forming of the pot is our inherited genetics and the associated mutations over billions of years.
There are many ways of looking at things. I'm not an expert but my biology professors don't seem to be bothered when I mention this. What's the big deal anyway?

Bases on my personality, because I am a die-hard pro-Creationist, and my freinds personalities, at the end of the course you would have ten slightly annoyed die-hard pro-Creationists who pretty much kept their mouth shut the entire time and learned just as much as you did. They would probably thank you for the opportunity to learn more about other peoples views on where we came from, because it is always good to know other peoples point of view. Not to mention that you would probably end up with 10 people praying for you pretty consistently, whether you like it or not.

I'm a pro-creationist and studying advanced Biology, would I have to fight myself?!?
It is really not that much of a problem creationism vs evolution, I believe one explains the other in fact...

The essence of dogmatism is that it can't be changed by evidence, no matter how strong or plentiful. Funny enough, this is similar to the definition of stupidity - an inability to learn new things. I think they would ignore anything that didn't fit in with their beliefs, and then claim that science was oppressing them.

Their beliefs are set in stone. That would be like trying to teach an old dog new tricks. They would just fail the class and in the process write to the govenor of their state b*tching about what's being taught.

There is a difference between WHAT YOU BELIEVE and ACCEPT and WHAT MAN says you have to do.
God and Jesus said:
Give UNTO Ceasar, what is Ceasars
Thus, GIVE unto UCLA what is UCLA's.
Of course they COULD go to a nice THEOLIGAN University that has a RELIGIOUS origin like Harvard or Yale or Regent.

Nothing. Biology is a soft science. There are no right answers.

Never happen. You have to demonstrate possession of a brain before you're admitted to any of those courses

I've taken Biology..and not just Bio 1 either.
It makes absolutely no difference to my faith in God
It only makes be adore him more at the intricacies of his creation!
