Why? Because...

"...be ready always to give a defense to every man that asks you a reason for the hope that is in you..." I Peter 3:15

"While [Christianity] is deliberately broadened to embrace every aspect of truth, it is still stiffly embattled against every mode of error."
-G.K. Chesterton, from "The Everlasting Man"

"Throw your soul's fresh, glowing ardor
Into the battle for truth.
Jesus has set the example:
Dauntless was He, young and brave."
-Howard B. Grose

"True religion is not a series of guesses at truth, but 'we speak what we do know, and testify what we have seen.' That which your experience has proved to you, that which you have clearly seen to be the word of God, that which the Spirit beareth witness to in your consciousness, that hold you with [an] iron grasp."
-Charles H. Spurgeon
