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.
No I'm not a biologist (though I do have some training in biology ). But yes overall the idea is absurd. But this tactic tends to be part of larger tactic of trying to lure you into admitting that" you follow science and scientists on faith your religious" etc etc etc
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
