I'd like this thread to focus on whether this paradigm division exists, and also on ways to bridge the division, if we agree upon its existance.
I can agree that the paradigm does exists but wanna point out that it doesn't have to exist. Creationism can be viewed under an evolutionary paradigm, and visa versa.
The bridge the division, the researcher has to be educated about the other paradigms and how things are viewed under them.
One of the problems evolutionists face with creationists is that the creationists are sometimes unwilling to learn another paradigm.

Science fails to recognize the single most potent element of human existence.
Letting the reigns go to the unfolding is faith, faith, faith, faith.
Science has failed our world.
Science has failed our Mother Earth.

Creationists are not simply disagreeing, or refusing to listen. The words that one side says are simply nonsense to the other side. There's no way to make heads nor tails of it.
There is nothing preventing Creationists from becomming educated about other pardigms except their own will.
The different paradigms aren't some barrier that cannot be crossed. All it takes is education (if they are willing to learn). And that's all we can do is try to educate them.
