How would the new section help...
Unless the intention is to relax the rules for participation, how would a new section for any topic help out with people not understanding what evidence is?
The board is not organized into separate evolution/creation sections. In fact there is no evolution section. Why then would it be logical to have a creationism section?

Re: Biological Evolution
n Fact there is a "Biological Evolution" forum.
Wrong, there is a forum of that title that is intended for Creationism and Evolution discussion and debate.
The subtitle of the forum:
"Are today's species the products of descent with modification? Or are they the divine creation of God?"

Just a forum like the one stated above where references can be used as evidence that one would get from a Creationist site for example and not get suspended for it.
I'm not aware that anybody has been suspended for posting references from Creationist site. Ridiculed, maybe, but suspended? Not to my knowledge. But if you post stuff from such sites and the stuff is not supported, expect to have to defend it yourself. If I post stuff from non-authoritative sites like wikipedia, I expect to have to support it with primary sources and evidence if I'm called on it.
But if what you really want is a scientific section in which Creationist web pages stuff is accepted as authoritative, I am not supportive of that at all. Debate on scientific topics should consist of logical argument strongly grounded in the evidence. If you want to discuss Creationism in a non scientific fashion, why not do it in the "Theological Creationism and ID" section?
