When I get someone knocking on my door and declaring they have some of the answers and then refer to all the scientific peer reviewed journals as a source. I may then let them in.
My only real concern is these people of faith are the ones inappropriately forcing their beliefs into areas that have nothing to do with any faith. At the moment some parts of current scientific thought are being questioned by their beliefs. They should simply supply the evidence.
They seem to act as if 'they' are under attack by science. I think the converse is true.
I am also amazed that somone elses precepts of faith are not to be questioned as some sancrosanct 'fact' of faith. If they want to get into the discussion of ideas and proof then everything is open to scientific scrutiny.
The real problem with this 'controversy' is that one side wants to hide behind
an impenetrable wall and then snipe from behind this wall under the guise of scientific arguement with totally unsupportable 'evidence' or even worse misquoted half truths.

When my scientific beliefs are as sancrosanct as theirs, we may have a level playing field.

Don't think this is not important. This is not about the TRUTH, it is about power via the votes of the uninformed.
