I took this to mean "former secular proponents of evolution". As you
stated, new evidence led to new conclusions.

I don't know if this is necessarily a true classification of professions
although I would agree that the thought processing of differing professions
is quite different. I have known scientists who, in the presence of the
same evidence, will draw different conclusions. One might classify them as
"advocating" their position. It does come down to the fact that we are not
always perfect in our conclusions whether seeking the truth as lawyers or as
scientists (provided the motives are pure). Hence the need for us to
constantly go the the Lord is prayer to ask for guidance as we go about our
lives "in the world". Comments?
