Christian apologists seriously examine evidence and seek the truth in their defense of the faith.

“apologists tend to take this stuff very seriously and look into it and come up with all kinds of different uh different perspectives. And then at the even at the scholarly Christian level, they do dig a lot into this and write entire books on this sort of thing.”
