Some suggest that “top tier” scholarship and an “unapologetically Christian worldview” are mutually exclusive.

And some people just want to persist in being dolts.

Agreed; one should not exclude the other. The problems come when different factions define those goals differently and aggresively. Then you end up with infighting.

Such as when, beginning especially in the mid to latter 1800's, the naturalists set out to take over academe. If you look at the hubris that is Andrew White's "The History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom" you'll see how, by the beginning of the 20th century, they thought they had won.
