Evaulation of one of Sye Ten Bruggencate and Eric Hovind's presuppositional strategies

Sye Ten Bruggencate (STB) is a presuppositional apologist who is popular for promulgating a version of the Transcendental Argument for God's existence (TAG). 

Eric Hovind propagates a version of this argument too. What I see, though, is bad epistemology in this argument. I'm a Christian, but I see that the epistemology under-girding the argument isn't good. 

I couldn't find a good, short, to the point, video on the argument, so I'm posting one with Eric Hovind. He's trying to use the argument on a 6th grader who is interacting with the argument quite well, independent of who is right or wrong. I'm posting it primarily because the argument I want to focus on is blatantly stated for clarity's sake.
