A creationist section would not help resolve the questions about what counts as evidence, how it should be validated etc. It would not even be an appropriate place to discuss it (the existing, "Is it Science" forum would be better - or maybe a Philosophy forum outside of the science forums).
​
So what discussions would be placed in a special creationism section and why ?

Re: The debate
It seems to me that if "Creation scientists" are making scientific claims that the existing science forums are perfectly sensible places to discuss them. If not, what sort of claims are you referring to?
​
I do hope that you are not asking for a forum where criticism of creationist claims is banned. I can't see that serving any useful purpose.
