Obviously, there's one premise that's very important to you. If you're comfortable repeating yourself..I;ll just repeat myself.  The whole thing begins and ends with the notion that ideas are immaterial stuff.  Without it, it doesn't work, with it, there's no need to argue the rest anyway.

Of course it won't work without that. And it ends with nothing is material and God is the source of existence of the immaterial (ie. his vision/ideas create things).

He is right though, ideas don't exist without perception, and perception is immaterial as it that which is perceived, whether there is material things or not, hinges on the premise there is no interaction between the two, and that is true since there is commonality between material and immaterial.

And so it's a very good argument.
