Well one problem is that it works with the presupposition that no one in ancient times could have known or believed that "light" came first, plants came before animals, etc.

First, they have no evidence for such a claim other than their own bias. It's bad logic to assume that simply because a particular knowledge wasn't recorded that it therefore didn't exist.

Second, we are aware that many ancient religions (which predated both Christianity and Judaism) believed that the sun was the giver of all life (e.g. sun gods). So...I think that alone goes against the idea that ancient cultures couldn't have known that light was necessary for everything else to come into being.

My biggest problem with it was that it didn't address the moral questions. He may be able to find a way to believe in both creation and evolution, but he doesn't address why God would deceive someone into believing evolution if the result is damnation. I disagree with other points about it but that is my main difficulty.
