Presumably, your supposition is that the genetic programming route might work because anyone with a "moral" aversion to learning about biological evolution may not have a problem with learning genetic programming. I think the answer is: "only if you're sneaky and don't tell them that that's what it is". I'm pretty convinced that anyone who's thought about evolution and "doesn't understand it" doesn't understand it because they want not to. If they don't think their identity as a creationist is being challenged, then presumably they would indeed be more receptive to the concept and "get it" very quickly.
