But it certainly would be professional malfeasance if the university counted a creationist biology course towards admission.
...and this would only be because you happen to disagree with the conclusions of creation science. The laboratory facts for a biology course taught from a creationist perspective vs an evolutionary perspective are going to be the same. The difference is that the evolutionary course is going to teach unsubstantiated theories such as evolutionary endosymbosis as fact, while the creationist course will present them as theories.

Specifically the premise that the account of creation in Genesis I is true, and that anything that appears to contradict it must be an error, however strong the evidence against it seems.

How is a creationist course in biology going to handle bioinformatics? An evolutionary biology course is going to compare genomes across species by invoking divergence from a common ancestor. A creationist course is not. But the genomes make no sense except from an evolutionary perspective.

creation science Oxymoron. Creation is faith-based and that is OK. But don't even try to put it in the realm of science.
Someone whose background in biology is founded in Creationism wan't have the fundamental scientific knowledge of how biology works. They may know some of the suff, but the fundamentals would be lacking.
