Why doesn't God support apologetics...?

I mean, there are those boys and girls doing their best to put forward faith promoting angles to any and all controversy relating to Mormonism. Coming up with new ideas to try and refute biological, anthropological, archeological and geological (spooky that they all end in '...logical') evidences that counter Mormon beliefs and destroy testimonies is not easy you know.

Once the best apologetic arguments have been dismantled and shown to be smoke and mirrors there needs to be some substance from God. I mean, He is supposed to pitch in after 'all we can do' right? Well the apologists have definitely done all they can so now is the time for some divine intervention. A Nephite city perhaps, horse bones, some contemporary reformed Egyptian, a couple of visions, a new prophecy, something...anything...?

If I were an apologists I'd be coming round to thinking that God just isn't pulling His weight...

Maybe god is angry at the apologists for distorting Mormon doctrine.

I don't think you understand. God has done his part by sending the apologists. Natural disasters, childhood disease, birth defects, unbridled selfishness, and a complete lack of physical evidence, etc. are not enough. Apologists are another critical part of his plan to make faith really, really hard to have so that your rewards for having it are super duper sweet.
