Do these scientists have any basis for their gum flapping? I'm aware that there's a lot of religiously-minded scientists in the world, but what counts is the work they do that adds to the sum of human knowledge. It's been pointed out that Sir Isaac Newton was devoutly religious, as well as a practising alchemist, yet his scientific contributions vastly outweigh his religious ones.
As you may have spotted, I don't believe in this theistic evolution either. However, it should be easy enough for a proponent of it to demonstrate it, if it really is a thing.
