Hi, Logic.
I was a creationist up until about five years ago, when I took Biology 100 at Brigham Young University (ironically, a church-owned and church-run school). I hesitantly accepted evolution then, and spent the next year getting bad grades in my classes because I was spending a lot of time reading about evolution and about Mormon views on the subject.
I got into a long, drawn-out debate with my father (via e-mail and via direct conversations), and finally convinced him to accept that evolution is at least possible. He then spoke to his father, who was very upset that I believed in evolution, and somehow managed to get him to chill out, too.
However, EvC only came after I had almost completely converted away from creationism, so it didn't have as important an influence on my decision. It has, however, had a very strong influence on shaping my religious views and resolving some of the nagging questions that still remain. I owe a lot of thanks for that to people like Percy, Catholic Scientist, Rahvin, Rrhain and Bluegenes.
