I like how the apologist let the opposing side lay out their case, then dissects it.

That reminds me: Given that the Zeitgeist was/is such an Internet sensation, someone should dissect the work of another Internet sensation -- Robert Price. He has a lot of followers / listeners. He's a pretty smart guy, but he does some weird mingling of sources. Sometimes it's really hard to follow, yet his conclusion are picked up by skeptics and atheists, then used as ammunition. He was part of the inspiration behind one of my apologetics cartoons because he seems to enjoy saying, "We just don't have any way of knowing."

Just a thought!
