[OP wants to go to study medicine, but is worried about having to learn about evolution]
Don't worry, if you get hit up with an exam question or assignment that requires you to demonstrate evolution, then give 'em the evolution of the lowly caterpillar into a beautiful butterfly.
All within a matter of days mind you. image

is worried about having to learn about evolution
Yeah, learning something can really be a bummer instead of just making up any old goofy crap.
And when you submit that as an example, you will receive an F.
You will receive a failing grade because it will demonstrate that you completely lack an understanding of what evolution is. Further, it will probably demonstrate to your professor that you are probably far too thick to study medicine at all, because it will show a willingness to ignore what you're being taught by your instructors in favor of a strawman.
Metamorphosis is not the same as evolution.
And if you give answers like that, forget medical school and learn to say "Do you want fries with that?"
OH GOD, NOT LEARNING!!! Please, sweet Jesus, spare these poor idiots the pain of having to actually learn things, their brains can't handle reality.
If evolution is as absurd as the folks at RR say it is, learning about it will put you in an even better position to refute it. Of course, there is the slight possibility that evolution isn't absurd, and learning about it will make it less likely to refute, but what are the chances of that? Surely the literal word of the bible could not be wrong!
Or are you suddenly lacking in faith on that point?
1988 Seoul Olympics. Ben Johnson. His 9.79 seconds 'record' was questioned. The rest is history
2009 Berlin World Championships...:

...now, either the sports pharmaceutical industry might as well pack up, as Chicken Nuggets are the ultimate performance-enhancing drug, or something's happening here; especially in the scope of just 21 years (and I remember watching that men's 100 Metres final in the Seoul Olympics).
And considering how - especially just a few years ago - Usain Bolt could break world records at will, even when he slowed down before the finish line, then I suspect we are already seeing the emergence of Homo Superior .
All that on just Chicken Nuggets; and not even a Spartan-esque training & diet regimen? For a partying, one for the ladies sort such as Usain here, he's more than just a natural talent, mind you...!
While that's technically evolution (since the word "evolution" simply means "change"), I'm sure they'll ask it in a much less vague way. If you still answer that way, you'll be marked off and told to re-read the chapter. If you're serious about going into medicine, then the Theory of Evolution will be one of the most important things you need to learn. Nobody wants a doctor that denies that bacteria and viruses can change over time. You'd kill people by giving them the wrong medication and be unable to stay ahead of potential deadly diseases.
Looks like $teve's trying to help his friend fail!
Let's apply this to pooches, shall we?
Don't worry, if you get hit up with an exam question or assignment that requires you to demonstrate evolution, then give 'em the evolution of the lowly puppy into a noble dog.
or bovines/whales/elephants:
Don't worry, if you get hit up with an exam question or assignment that requires you to demonstrate evolution, then give 'em the evolution of the lowly calf into a humongous Cow or Bull.
or HUMANS:
Don't worry, if you get hit up with an exam question or assignment that requires you to demonstrate evolution, then give 'em the evolution of the lowly infant into a grown up man or woman.
$teve, that's not "evolution", that's a little something called "GROWING UP" YOU IMBECILE!
Methinks you're not serious but just being a snarker. If you're serious, however...buddy I feel sorry for you!
@ Anon-e-moose :
I don't think that's an example of evolution in action, so much as an example of new training techniques (e.g. high altitude training).
And we can't ignore the ever-present possibility of blood doping....
@Anon-e-moose : He's black. Those don't count as everyone knows that blacks can run faster than whites. But their speed and strength come at a cost to their intellect and self-control. Kind of like how chimpanzees are about five times stronger than humans, not to mention far quicker and more nimble, but you wouldn't seriously say that chimpanzees are superior to humans.
That's not evolution, that's metamorphosis. If that is evolution, humans evolve from egg through fetus into human, all within a matter of months. Plus, there are several beautiful caterpillars and quite a lot of "lowly" butterflies.
In order to study medicine, you have to already know quite a bit of Biology and Chemistry, so you ought to have learned about evolution already. It's like wanting to study engineering, but being worried about having to learn about subtraction.
@Wyatt Mann:
Nice attempt. But next time you should insert a few typos and grammar mistakes to make it more authentic. And I think a thread at RSTDT would have been a more fitting place for a trolling like that.
Therefore, I give you only 3.5 out of 5 troll heads.
But please try again, you are showing more promise than our usual wannabe trolls.
Hang on... why would anyone at RR want to study medicine? Qualifying to become a doctor takes the best part of a decade, and the Rapture is obviously coming any day now.
Unless... you think you'll still be here in seven years time... HERETIC!
@ Wyatt Mann
That which is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. Your assertions contain no evidence and thus, well, you figure it out.
"...you wouldn't seriously say that chimpanzees are superior to humans."
- I would say that all of the great apes are superior to you. I submit your posts as evidence.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
