The change in his policy merely requires students to explain rather than affirm a scientific origin for the human species.

Affirming a belief is the equivalent to a religious test. You can't affirm that you believe in a creator and that you believe in a total scientific explaination for the origion of life. Affirming that you believe in a completely scientific explaination for something that has no real scientific explaination only purpose is to weed out creationists. A creationist can not answer that question without disavowing his/her beliefs. Instead of defending your answer, you resort to name-calling.

We're talking about origin of species, not the origin of life itself. Also, accepting evolution does not preclude accepting that a "creator" had some hand in either the process itself or the conditions leading to the process.
