What you're describing isn't "theists," but fundamentalists. Plenty of theists don't talk to the dead, know that Earth is 4.5 billion years old, and modern astronomy would look quite different were it not for the catholic church.
Their post wasn’t accusing theists of being young earth creationists, and the anecdote given was explicitly about a spiritist. You’re refuting a stance that wasn’t taken.
It was actually saying that "theists" think that scientists can't appreciate beauty, whether that was intentional or not.
