You said how does it follow.
If a Creator can create morality/goodness out of nothing (a), then it can make it the case goodness/morality is such that it is good/moral to torture a innocent forever (b)
It cannot be that goodness/morality is such that it can be good/moral to torture an innocent being forever in any possible world (not b)
Therefore a Creator can't create goodness out nothing (not a)
There is a rule in logic.
A->B
Not B
Therefore Not A.
Right! But do you realize that you are just assuming A?! A is the topic of our debate!
No I'm not assuming A to be true or even possible. I'm saying if it is possible (a), then (b) is possible. However (b) is impossible, therefore (a) is impossible.
I don't believe God can create morality out of nothing. Rather he is ultimate morality and knowledge of it of it's various stages and hues and colors is all in his knowledge of himself.
