The lawyers that are involved on the student's behalf have also said that the wording doesn't make a difference. But they're still claiming that it's a significant victory for them. Whatever...

I'm curious what a senior premed student is doing taking introductory biology.

True(-ish), for normal religions. But if there were such a thing as the god of creationists, I think most of us here would hate it with a passion. (Just four examples of why: Ichneumonidae; Plasmodium falciparum; hookworms; Ebola Zaire.)

Nearly all this coverage has leaned heavily on the basic theme that the case for religious discrimination here is, if not valid, at least one that should be seriously entertained. This interpretation has been reinforced by the media’s reporting only the partial facts of the story and leaving out crucial information — such as the fact that Micah Spradling was never registered in any of Dini’s courses, but merely sat in on two classes of one course. Or that Dini gives recommendations only to students he knows well and who have done A work in his classes. Or even that there were 38 other professors whose classes Spradling could have attended and from whom he could have requested recommendations. Or that a belief in creationism is hardly a central tenet of Christianity, or, for that matter, fundamentalist Christianity.

Fantastic! I bet he gets a shitload of hatemail from people telling that creationism is a fact because there isn't enough moon dust or whatever but it's still a fantastic piece.
