There are different responses.

Some refuse to believe the evidence, or believe only what suits them. Others attempt to put forward pseudo-scientific explanations in an attempt to discredit the scientific explanations.

Perhaps a majority accept the scientific evidence and adjust their religious views of the world accordingly. For example in 2006, the General Convention of the Episcopal Church affirmed, via Resolution A129, that "the theory of evolution provides a fruitful and unifying scientific explanation for the emergence of life on earth, that many theological interpretations of origins can readily embrace an evolutionary outlook, and that an acceptance of evolution is entirely compatible with an authentic and living Christian faith." This is a worldview that accepts scientific facts and religious belief.

What religions speak in tongues?

For the most part Christians. It's spoken of in the bible early in the book of Acts following the reception of the holy spirit to believers after the final accession of Christ. I Corinthians 12 and 14 also mention "speaking in tongues" as one of the manifestations available by a Christian believers holy spirit. This is considered perfect prayer that bypasses an individuals understanding and is to be done in private unless interpreted in a worship meeting. Despite the many religions and sects who speak in tongues many fail to actually live up to the concluding exhortation concerning the proper operations of this manifestation in the church. I Corinthians 14:40 "Let all things (context emphasizes speaking in tongues) be done decently and in order" -not acting crazy and being emotionally out of bounds.Many Christians in Pentecostal-type denominations speak in tongues. Though some choose not to.
