Ken Ham is ... EXPELLED

I have to agree with you here. The theory of evolution is not so difficult that it cannot be understood without believing in it. I can imagine test questions that might require a disbeliever in the ToE to lie, but I doubt that such questions would be used on a test. IMO such questions would have constitutional problems. Learning undergraduate physics does not require a scientific method loyalty oath, but learning undergraduate physics does not make you a scientist.If you continue your studies beyond the undergraduate level and actually become a physicist, you may have some cognitive dissonance about the scientific method. Perhaps that will involve "faking it" in some sense.But your disbelief of the theory of evolution probably won't be front and center because you probably won't have to confront biological evidence in your physics studies.

There is nothing wrong with skepticism about established theories, but you aren't merely skeptical about the theory of evolution. Evidence that would persuade any scientist won't convince you. Can you even conceive of evidence that might convince you that does not require time travel? That's not scientific.It seems to me that your reasons for rejecting the theory of evolution include your religious beliefs. In my opinion, that would be a handicap for a biologist. There might be subjects in physics that will be similarly problematic for you.

Has Slevesque ever claimed to be YEC?

Interesting.I think some YEC apologetics about the evidence are pretty difficult to maintain even while taking a physics undergraduate curriculum. It will be harder to believe nonsense about the second law of thermodynamics after learning the real thing, more difficult to swallow nonsense about radiometric dating after taking course work in atomic physics and quantum mechanics. But most of all, it will be harder to believe that real physicists are liars and/or fools after spending considerable time among them and the evidence.Of course that will may simple lead to an understanding that the evidence does not support a young earth. It might take more to actual change belief in YEC.

I don't believe this to be correct. Most college graduates in the US took their last biology class in the high school and have avoided taking any college level science courses that deal with cosmology or any other origins topic in any serious way. It's even easier to avoid real science in college than it is in high school.
