I note two issues here. But attaching the personal traits of arrogance and haughtiness to the professor should make even the most devout pause to consider the bias. Abstracting from that bias, the professor does make a point that theists must confront. In any event, debators on both sides of this issue could show a bit more personal restraint. However, I'm sure I'm guilty of as much excessive sarcasm as just about anyone else on the planet, so I try not to judge that quality too harshly in others.
Scientists do, of course, identify the senses.
I remain unaware of any who fail to identify also the capacity for reason. I grant that such a concept theoretically can lead to deception as well as perception. But even a empiricist philosopher could believe in God and maintain a consistent philosophical perspective. Science does not prove the absence of God, nor does it attempt to do so. Some branches of philosophy do.
