Apologetics actually find their motives from scripture, specifically 1 Peter 3:15 is one of the verses that stands out, I'm sure there are more, but I'd have to research. Doesn't a scientific hypothesis presuppose truth. It's filtered through a more reliable process than philosophy, but isn't a hypothesis just making an educated guess. Ie. "If I do this, this will happen" How different really is it to say "If God exists, then X makes sense to work that way"
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
