For whatever reason theistic evolutionists rarely reveal their hand. (Please feel free to make a liar of me ).
For many I think they simply have decided the issue is not important.
IMO many theistic evolutionists dislike the topic because they realise the two don't really mix. I suspect many would want to give God a lot more guiding power than they would like talking about in front of an evoltuionist. Does a theistic evoltuionist really get that many browny points if he still believes God prodded things along the way? Man evolved speech not becasue of duplicated genes randomly mutating but becuase God mutated them??
On the other hand other theistic evoltuionists realise that what they're saying makes them so evoltuioinary that they almost start wondering about any of Scripture. Where they draw the line becomes an uncomfortable issue they would rather not think about - creation, flood, Abraham, Moses, Joshua, David, Daniel, Jesus, Paul . . .
These are my impressions.
