If they post on a proper science website (talking about the age of the earth or not) - Troll. Science sites are not the right place to talk about any deity.
I find this a difficult point. I agree it's annoying and not productive etc... but... is it trolling? They've got a viewpoint, and are trying to get it across to you...
Imo trolling is something bad you do on purpose. Being convinced that you're helping people by telling them about [deity] doesn't sound like trolling to me. But it can be very annoying on a science forum if you keep getting such on your science forum...
I agree that it's probably not their place to be (or very rarely, maybe some theological discussion could from time to time happen on a science forum, why not). But saying they are trolls is going too far imo. And maybe even banning is going too far, don't know...
Just shutting up people you don't agree with and calling them trolls won't make the situation any better (and will just make both sides more determined...)
