He is supposed to answer the question: are religion and science in conflict? But his answer is superficial and frankly silly: lots of history's great scientists were religious, the houses of parliament looks like church etc. So his answer is an emphatic no.

At no point does he wonder why these religious scientists never think to apply the tools of scientific discovery to their own religious beliefs. If they did, they might realise that religion poses a huge logical problem. When they do science, they apply logic, observation, reason. When they do religion, they turn to magical thinking. This is a big paradox that is left unanswered.
