It will probably be best if you watch his video first. In it D.P. uses an apologetic line of argument that was new to me, although it reminds me of the claims made by the Swiss theologian Hans Küng.
I'm not arguing for or against the existence of God, I'm just criticizing D.P.'s line of argument, which I regard as basically flawed.
