Some Creationists would like to argue from a scientific perspective, while others would like to include religious arguments. By ruling religious arguments out of the science fora we force this latter type of Creationist to bring their religious arguments to the religious fora. This is causing scientific topics to be discussed in the religious fora, which doesn't appear to be working out all that well.
One possible resolution would be to require the OP in the science fora to specify whether religious arguments are to be permitted in the ensuing discussion. Creationists could propose topics for the science fora that permit them to use religious arguments (e.g., God or an IDer influenced evolution), but they would still have to provide evidence and reasoned arguments for their position.
Opinions?
