That's silly. Of course no one is obligated to do anything. Anyone can be as ignorant as they choose to be.
Due diligence in reviewing evidence is only required by those at the intersection of intellectually honesty and curiosity.
Most of my reply (above) is discussing the findings of scientists on the topic of science, not "supernatural events." Even if you come away with a better understanding of the weaknesses of the prominent theories, that is a move in the right direction, truth.
But, you are missing my whole point. My replies are giving evidence that the opposite of your claim is true. That religious people do make an attempt to verify, and that Christians encourage this over blind trust.
It also seems you are saying something different than your original post. Instead of "Don't trust, verify" being applied to everything, you believe: Don't trust, verify... except religious texts, you should just NOT trust those.
