Actually they aren’t my two cents but I think James White raises a good point for apologetics because:

The Da Vinci Code will once again highlight the reality that the evangelistic task today must be apologetic from the start. We are seeking not only to proclaim the facts of the gospel anymore. No, now we must deal with the very existence of truth itself! Those who refuse to see that this is part and parcel of what it means to proclaim the good news in Western culture today are simply ignoring the reality all around them.

Truth is being sacrificed on the altar of relativism. That’s why apologetics is so important.
