Peaceful Science an Underdog?

Why try to be dominant? Why not keep PS as a high-level dialogue site in which various faith/science options are explored? The Genealogical Adam is one such option. Others can be explored as they come up. (For example, maybe Jon Garvey’s new book has a position that could be showcased on PS – not as PS dogma, but as a proposal worthy of discussion.) If PS can truly say it isn’t automatically against ID (as theory) or against TE/EC (as a general faith/science approach), but rather is open to the best ideas of both camps, and from creationist camps, as it forges its own “Third Way,” then it need not make unnecessary enemies, as it tests fresh ideas, and will attract many readers. Maybe the only dominance it should seek is not the dominance of a particular position (ID, TE, YEC, Genealogical Adam, etc.), but dominance among faith-science websites for high quality of discussion and classy treatment of people from all camps.
