They don't want their beliefs examined by the scientific method; they want their beliefs to replace the scientific method. It's about rolling back the Renaissance and the Enlightenment. The long term consequence would be the same sort of intellectual stagnation we see in the Islamic world.

China, India, Korea, and others would have no objection to that, I'm sure.
