The scientist says, "I have found it. Here is how I found it, and here are the methods I used. Try it yourself, and if you find the same thing, then we will both know it is true."
The religionist says, "I have found it, and you must believe without questioning or doubting."
Some say, "For those who believe, no explanation is necessary. For those who do not, no explanation is possible."
This is evading responsibility. It's another way of refusing to attempt to explain, either because of laziness or ignorance or a conviction that others are too stupid to understand. At worst, it's a power play to gain control over the lives of others.
