I think the point he's making is that it's actually two things to say that God exists, philosophically and logically:
Number one is to say it exists philosophically (ie faith-based belief) and number two is to say that it exists logically (ie scientific proof-based belief).

Logic, as I am using it here, refers simply to the proper use of analogy and inference (i.e. the old "if P is Q, and Q is R, then P is R" stuff). Scientific inquiry uses logic, but logic is a much broader Category. You apply logic in philosophy (and yes, theology) just as you do in scientific experiements. So, to rephrase my original line, it is one thing to say that God exists philosophically, and make a good case of it...
