So let's modify the argument so it's more clear.
Assume where it the case an eternal creator was possible (metaphysically possible).
If that assumed eternal creator can create goodness out of nothing, it can decide it's good to torture a being for ever with intense torture for no crime on it's own in some possible world.
It's impossible that assumed eternal creator can make goodness such that it's good to torture a being forever with intense torture for no crime on it's own in any possible world.
Therefore it's necessarily the case that goodness cannot be created out nothing by any assumed creator in any possible world.
Goodness exists and it's part of our reality/selves.
If assumed creator cannot create goodness out of nothing, then neither can evolution, as it can create evolution.
Goodness therefore is eternal (not created)
Goodness only is possible if perceived.
Therefore an eternal perception of goodness existed.
