I doubt it. The mindsets of science and religion are too different.
In the scientific mindset facts determine conclusions. Such as is the basis for all modern science.
In the religious mindset their religiously indoctrinated conclusions determine the "facts". The religious, at the center of their beliefs, have reached the ultimate conclusion that God and their religion is true. This means that the religious already "know" the answer regardless of any facts they may be presented with. Any facts that run contrary to this pre-determined conclusion become irrelevant or rejected based on the supposition that it must be in error.
Therefore I predict he will ignore, deflect, or evade all of your attempts.
