As for motivation to get science behind something 'big' and amazing in the bible, I'm speculating it might be due to a form of Literalism. The folks in the 'God said it, the Bible records it, and I believe it" orbit think a big score like this would 'prove' everything.
Perversely, however, as we've noted time and time again, the self proclaimed Literalists are just as pervaded with cherry pickers as the tepid mainstreamers. And of course, cherry picking scriptures itself falsifies the faith. They can't have it both ways; fervent belief of physical impossibilities, with simultaneous disbelief/unobservance of relatively easy strictures, edicts, pronouncements, commandments, rules, and orders won't curry favor with their particular self espoused god, and a vexed god ain't gonna be conferring salvation.
Funny christers can't work out stuff like this on their own, ain't it ?
