Professor John Lennox's Goal is not to destroy atheism in this video, in fact, he does not attack atheism, but gives a respectful and solid basis for his faith based on a reasoning mind and using logic with many references to scientists who agree that the laws of science speak for a divine law giver who is God.
Pastor Daniel in circling the atheist in the picture above (left side) opposing Lennox presents this video as an apologetic. I don't think it is wise to think of an apologetic argument as destroying the assertions of a person who holds this view. Each person is an individual, made in God's image, and they deserve the right to explore their own belief/s, and the motives that led them to form those beliefs. What is dangerous is to see life as merely a human, material existence and to deny life beyond what is experienced in the flesh, here and now. There is much evidence that man not only has a soul, but a body, and a spirit, just as God reveals himself Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

it is he that hath made us,
and not we ourselves;
we are his people,
and the sheep of his pasture."

wisdom from job
If you take the words from the Bible that speak of creation, the book of Job tells us that we can learn much from the lower order creatures about who made them and who gives them their voices.
"Even birds and animals have much they could teach you; ask the creatures of earth and sea for their wisdom. All of them know that the Lord's hand made them. It is God who directs the lives of his creatures; everyone's life is in his power."
Job 12:7-10
& creature knowledge
Have you applied your observations about lower created beings
in how you do life?
example - dogs (German Shepherd - loyal, loving, watchful care -
service / therapy dogs)
Are you becoming creative like your Creator?
example - praying/ healing - providing care, help, friendship
(good Samaritan)
Are you loving and respecting all that He has made?
(Jesus)
example - forgiving, wrongs not gossiped, opportunities to make
things right taken, relationships deepened, life made fuller
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
before you were born I set you apart;
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
Jeremiah 1:5
