Shall the ToE take a position on ghosts and pixies as well?

You are missing my point. When scientists use ToE in their position on religion and the existence of God, they may as well.

And as I've said before Creationists are outside their sphere as well when discussing biology or geology.

We should not condemn the one without seeing its corollary in the other.

When a scientist does that, you're right. But what's the remedy you propose? That all scientists make disclaimers about their research having no position on God?

Shall they then issue the same disclaimer for their research having no position on leprechauns? Where does the silliness end?

Science describes the natural world. Do you want them to say that the natural world requires the supernatural to function? That is absurd on its face.
