Sure, someone can be amazingly clever and have the most outrageously good critical thinking skills. But if they are also religious, they are not using those skills in all areas. And once the brain has to force in beliefs which contradict reality and science, that's where you get problems, innate bias and cognitive dissidence.
Religion is not scientific, hence the weasel word "faith". It's the very opposite of science, and if you allow that in, you're compromised.
Nevertheless, if someone wants to disprove evolution, all they have to do is present their evidence and collect massive critical acclaim. However, if they refuse to, or present biased bullshit, then there's nothing to be done.
