Should I hold my breath?
This is confusing, for a few reasons.
First, because it doesn't make any sense to challenge me to engage in apologetics. I'm not an apologist, I've never said that I think there's good apologetic arguments--I certainly never made such a claim in this thread--and this thread is about the honesty of Christian apologists. It would be off-topic to start debating whether there is a good Christian defense against your particular objection.
Second, proving "There is some measure of truth in Christianity" is insufficient to defend against the objection, "A person seeking truth would not end up a Christian." Perhaps some competing and incompatible belief system--say, Buddhism, or secular humanism--has even more truth than Christianity.
“The truth of our faith becomes a matter of ridicule among the infidels if any Catholic, not gifted with the necessary scientific learning, presents as dogma what scientific scrutiny shows to be false.”
