A really annoying creationist tactic

My response tends to be

"No if your so incurious as not to look into the data yourself. By what right should you expect people who have to invest there time in explaining it to you? "

Generally this is met with claims like

"if it were so easy you would explain it etc"

As if my disinterest in educating someone who has shown  no curiosity or willingness to learn (because if they were why do you need me)Or Incensement over the fact I did the work you refuse to do. Makes me not knowledgeable  on a subject .

I don't know whether you're a biologist, but the idea that any random person should be able to give a detailed expose on any complicated scientific topic off the top of their head, or otherwise you are wrong and there's a God, is blatantly nonsensical.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
