I just saw that video earlier today. It was excellent, although I'm not sure it works completely. Using the round peg round hole analogy, he says that god would merely have had to push a round peg through a round hole. The argument can be defeated using the same analogy, and saying god created the hole round so he could fit a round peg through it.

I think you've just reversed the roles of the peg and the hole. The peg then is the limitation since the only thing you could fit in the hole is the peg.

I could be wrong. This stuff makes my head hurt! Confused Fall
