I agree that debate is important in science
But challenging scientific theory and introducing religious beliefs to the scientific arena really aren't the same thing.
Science (to be grossly simple about it) is about being able to prove or disprove a theory, by gathering evidence either to support your claim or to discredit that of another. Religion is based on whether you have faith in something that couldn't ever be proven as fact.
