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.
But still only a round peg can go in a round hole which is a limitation which ever way around it its.
