You said it didn't follow. I was showing how it did.

The statement that it can't be morally/good in any possible world to torture a being for no crime intensely forever and ever...doesn't follow from the statement, It's stated by itself but if that is the contention, we can get into a dialogue about that. If a hypothetical eternal being can decide that to be it's morality, why can't we? So do you believe we can make it so that it's good for us to torture kids for no crime, put acid on them? No. Can you even say 100% we can't decide this. I believe so.

 But it you accept that premise, and the "tautology", then it follows it's impossible for a Creator to create morality while it didn't always exist.
