Well then, I would say that you or someone else should have been able to persuade those scientists would believe in a god that materialistic or natural explanations do the trick.
There are plenty of people who believe in a god while still believing in natural explanations for evolution and the origin of life RAZD, for instance is a deist I believe. Just because someone thinks differently than you does not believe they dont believe in a god.
