Unfortunately they do that to placate religion, they shouldn't but they do it because it gives them a door to promote science while not pissing off theists.
The theist will regardless go "A HA!" Just like they did when people called the Higgs Boson the "God Particle".
It is bullshit. Scientific method has always been completely separate and independent of all religions.
