I am curious. Are there any forums such as this one that discuss matters of science and religion but are more populated by those who reject science? My limited knowledge of possible forums indicate that those that arise from various dissenting viewpoints, such as from the discovery institute, are heavily censored and do not allow alternative viewpoints to intrude. While on the other side, such forums as Panda's Thumb, censor out all discussion of religion, and stick solely to science. Is ther a free-for-all equivalent to this forum that is more populated by creationists? Or is that a logical impossibility?

Terry's Talk Origins
I occasionly post there. The active participation is currently about evenly split between evo and creo.
Its version of the "all topic" list is at:
Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online.
I also have an topic on TTO at Terry at the Talk Origins board.
Terry has a rather perverse perspective on what is "civil debate". Many members here at have been banned from TTO. I was once banned for saying that George W. Bush's voter base consisted of "the stupid, the ignorant, and the greedy". John Kenneth Galbraith said it even better (see "signature" below).
That site is severely lacking in topic drift control. Pretty much any topic can end up pretty much anywhere.

Hi Moose, you made my day

...A small star with high enthalpy may therefore emit photons with velocity much greater than C = 3 x 10**8 m/s whereas a large star with a low overall energy may emit photons with velocities << than C or even not at all as is the case with neutron star black-holes...
...If you are a scientist therefore you should consider these things when making assumptions about the age of the universe in terms of the "speed of light”
I will never complain about Buzzsaw and his ideas again. It really makes you appreciate the quality of layman here at EvC

Fred Williams' site
I used to enjoy posting at Evolutionfairytale but was banned for equivocation after trying to point out equivocation. They are very sensitive to the tone of the debate (some might say in a highly biased way), so you might find yourself walking on eggshells. The moderator procedures are hidden and discussion of them is forbidden, all moderators are creationists (and almost vice-versa - last time I was there all of the regular creationist posters were moderators).
Still, its an interesting environment and the board software is quite good (I don't like the idea that you only have a limited (measured in minutes) time to edit your posts, but I see the merit in a sense). I only wish I wasn't banned because I noticed a few errors in my posts there that I would like to retract.
You might want to look at Evolution Is Dead, I might have posted there, I can't remember, but its a very low traffic site (or at least used to be) which seems very much geared towards the anti-evolutionists.

there are some good sites out there other than this one, but you have to be careful, some people pretend to be open minded if you agree with them for the most part, but then when you disagree with thier views they ban you
mostly smaller ones i found,they don't get bigger for good reason

Evolution is Dead is picking back up lately, with a pretty good influx of creationist-leaning posters there. It's not as big as EvC, and has no formal moderation at all, but it stays fairly civil most of the time. I've been there for millenia....
