Well, it is because math and science are a religion to these people.
They were never taught logic, nor reason, and so, they go around quoting their holy books without knowing any of its meaning or implications.

"the speed of light is a constant" - (it isn't, but that's a long post)

And all they are concerned about is that that old poopy religion is superstitious and shitty, because science says so.

Thus, its all about upholding their new religion.
It is ironic that "science" is their new religion, while they do not care about facts or truth.

The only IMPORTANT thing about Alan Turing (to them) is that he was gay.

oh baby, oh baby, oh baby... why did you stop?
Um... Is this really for science?
