Answer 2

Religious fundamentalists interest in science certainly does not arise from natural curiosity, or an honest endeavor to find what is true about the natural world. Instead, fundamentalists meddle in science because they know by undermining its credibility, or at least by positing an “alternative” to it, they will diminish the efficacy of the single most combative force to religious claims.
