I heard some
rumors of the engine script being javascript, hum?
Any reasons for using
javascript, as opposed to other, perhaps more mature scripts?
Or even
node networks?

Well, Javascript is pretty new at the general purpose scripting stuff (I think), and I can't find ANYTHING on the subject that is not HORRIBLY biased towards web scripting and browser compatability. (That, and I hate brackets. Long live python!
)
I'm really just asking because I'm very new to the whole scripting deal. I'd be more than happy to learn javascript to do fancy stuff.

Yup! We are using Javascript! Javascript 1.5 to be exact. Javascript is an awesome programming language and the reasons why we are using it rather than Python or LUA will become clear very soon.

As someone who knows about as much coding as a person that doesn't know anything about code, can you explain to me how using one script rather than another would be beneficial?

They aren't choosing from different "scripts", they are choosing from different scripting languages.
Different script parsing engines operate faster than others. Also, people have preferences on syntax.

Thank you. I'll keep that in mind when I
really start working with it.
