Apart from being a literal creationist (the 6000 years comment), his logic seems pretty sound. I think to be an atheist takes a greater leap of faith than it does to be a believer.
"to be an atheist takes a greater leap of faith than it does to be a believer."
Do followers on both sides admit to requiring a great leap of faith?
If so, wouldn't the most sensible position belong to the agnostic...who argues that all theories are possible, but there remains insufficient evidence to be conclusive. ?
sensible? Well, only if not choosing a side is sensible. You'd have to assume that 1) truth can not be known 2) all positions to be taken are equally invalid
