Apologetics, Anyone?

Apologetics: "A theological science which has for its purpose the explanation and defence of the Christian religion....a verbal defence against a verbal attack, a disproving of a false accusation, or a justification of an action or line of conduct wrongly made the object of censure....Some scholars prefer such terms as 'Christian Evidences', the 'Defence of the Christian Religion'" (from the Catholic Encyclopedia).
