So yeah, swearing itself is fine, provided there's some relevancy to the thread. We don't want to see any more stuff like "Christard", "Libtard", etc.
So, for example, would using "creatardism" to describe the "system" of thought be ok, and using "creatard" to describe a spouter of said thought (for a given value of thought, namely 0) be wrong?
As I said before, we'll have to discuss it, but my feeling is that (1) that's purposefully trying to defeat the spirit of the rule by shifting the slur off person(s)/people, and (2) since "retard" is a slur for mentally disabled people, using it, and any derivative, in a thread title should be prohibited.
You really should be asking yourself why you need to describe creationism that way to begin with, though. It's enough to say "creationism is stupid" without using a slur.
