Yes, I have noticed that proponents of evolution frequently reply to people with &quot;you don&#x27;t understand the basics&quot; and &quot;look it up in the literature&quot;. So by your logic, they must be working from faith.<p>Or, alternative theory: the topic is actually complicated, they are tired of ignorant people acting like ignorance is just as good as knowledge, and they don&#x27;t feel obliged to spoon-feed decades of complicated material to people who, by all evidence, have no interested in learning it because it would interfere with what their gut tells them on the topic.
