More likely they just lied because they approach the subject on a mission to confirm what they believe. Their conclusion is settled. Now they look for printed words and facts which they can weave into narratives which confirm their beliefs.
Their interest in science is not motivated by any desire to understand the world on its own terms. So they aren't interested in science for the right reasons. Perhaps they are dishonest with themselves about why they're discussing science. Or maybe they just don't reflect on it at all.
