Those people don't understand how the default position works. The default position is "we don't know". We then try and learn things, until we do know.
Such people think the default position is magical fairy tales, and it's up to science to change that position.
As well as being obviously stupid, it's fundamentally flawed since any random fairy tale can be inserted as the default position. This apparently proves that every magic fairy tale is the correct explanation. Any "method" which proves everything actually proves nothing.
Also, intellectual laziness and being generally uncomfortable with uncertainty.
