No, actually, it isn't hard and that's the point.
Evolution by natural selection isn't a controversial topic within biologists. The age of the Earth isn't a controversial topic within geologists. Heliocentrism isn't a controversial topic within physicists. These ends have already been reached.
Dark matter, the Higg's boson, conflicts between Quantum Mechanics and Special Relativity, the Copenhagen Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics.. these are delightfully controversial issues with much debate on the numerous sides to each topic. If the religious were genuinely concerned with the pursuit of truth, then they would offer some insight into any of these topics, questions that scientists genuinely are struggling to answer. But they're not.
They dogmatically stick to arguments that have been disproved and debunked already, often hundreds or even thousands of years ago, soley to maintain an arbitrary and deluded view of reality.
Now if we're going to start committing 'fallacy by catchy celebrity quote', let me banter this one in.
