Would it make more sense to just ban people who cannot provide scientifically contructed arguments from the science side of the forum but have them retain their posting ability on the social and religious issues side until they can prove their ability to produce constructive arguments.
I am not trying to water down the site but also do not want to discourage those few creationists, IDers who really are trying to make an attempt to scientifically back up their ideas.
Just a suggestion.
