You could criticize his “cogito ergo sum” (I think therefore I am).
He establishes the cogito as independent of the divine, but also claim that atheism can’t posses scientia (knowledge) – you could challenge that.
You could also challenge that his solution leaves no room for unconscious thoughts

he should have said, thought exists.
