imho, that statement is up there with "It's common sense" as an ad hominem argument, as the proponent appears to be stating if you don't agree, you can't be intelligent or must be dishonest 
And once again, people are confusing logic with faith - I know quite a few scientists and other very bright people with strong religious beliefs, and they see no conflict - they obviously must be liars and/or stupid
