How about Francis Collins? Or, Microbiologist, Alister McGrath at Oxford -- now also Professor of Theology, Ministry and Education. Or, Bob White, Geophysicist.

Four scientists that claim creationism and evolution can co-exist isn't evidence that creationism and evolution can co-exist. Theistic evolution isn't even in the discussion, because it just shoe-horns religion into science without anything to back it up. The problem is that some people in government use scientists like this to say that "scientists disagree on the evolution versus creationism debate" and then use that claim to pursue their own religious agenda to insert the teaching of creationism as "science" in schools.
edit: you added another scientist while I typed up this reply, bravo!
