There is a significant difference between 'answering them' and 'answering them intelligently.' Xtianity (nor any religion, really) does not require intelligent responses. Any silly old shit will do as long as they can feel good about their superstitions.
Oh, and the Lucifer thing is because of a questionable translation from the Latin (Lux=light and ferre= to bring). In the Latin Vulgate version of the NT the best they could come up with was to call the 'Prince of Darkness' the "Bringer of Light." This seems like a bit of a contradiction but I'm sure some xtian will wish it away as they will so many of those other questions.
