Jackriot, I would caution against thinking of your parents as stupid. There are many very bright people who are theists. Most of them are perfectly rational in other areas of their lives too. They just have this hard-wiring for religion. Maybe the ultimate example was Issac Newton - who many consider to be the smartest scientist who ever lived. I doubt he would have been a creationist if he had had access to the knowledge we have today but even measured by the religious belief of his contemporaries, he was pretty pious.
If your folks are good parents - the only issue is religious disagreement - then just agree to disagree for now. Since you have aspirations of higher education, you should really knuckle down in school to get the best grades you can. You might need a scholarship because your parents are under no obligation to pay your way through college if they don't approve of your field of study.
Good luck.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
