Yes, I have noticed that proponents of evolution frequently reply to people with "you don't understand the basics" and "look it up in the literature". So by your logic, they must be working from faith.

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'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.
