He is ignoring the fact that conscience awareness is part of the fabric of quantum physics, the whole universe only bothers to exist when consciences is observing it. When we make the tools to view deep in to the universe we are in fact creating those parts of the universe when we peer in to the void, without our observational effect to collapse the probability wave the universe would not bother to resolve them, In fact the Big Bang itself as described by layman terms seems to me to be the state of a universe which has no observers in it. like an empty photoshop document waiting for pixels to be drawn. The laws of thermodynamics as we know them state that we always are drifting towards this state of chaos and disorder, entropic decay is a never ending one way trip to a cold dead universe. Then how does life evolve from that? How does a series of system seem to arise out of chaos and self order? First the DNA does this then one celled life, then multi cellular, all the way up to us? How so? The more we describe the universe the more we have to acknowledge these few facts that clearly demonstrate that we are wrong about the cosmological theories we have.
