I vote the 12th century AD - its funny that apologetics then and now are almost the same.
Always the same arguments just redressed in different formats. Funny actually that a good number of these arguments are from Pagan or Arab sources.
Actually if not for science progressing - apologetics would be completely stagnant.
Religion has always only been nothing but reactionary. Just look what they tried to do to Galileo.
the very that there are new theories in Biology and Physics has gotten all these Xtians working up a sweat trying to figure out rhetorical tactics in order to counter them. Xtian theories worked well till we learned more - and the more we learn the more strident the Xtian attacks on learning become. Its telling that a position is weak when it depends on ignorance and obedience to an authority that is exempt from proof.
The very fact that Xtians cant debate on the facts of evolution with independent peer-reviewed publications but create special interest lobbying groups to participate in the culture wars already shows that they are not interested in winning the argument based on truth but by marketing. When one requires mob action to win an argument, it usually means your argument is unsound.
