My point was first in relationship to where God derives value from and then to why we need God for value (so that we aren't special pleading). My point was that ultimate value was the default existence and the necessary existence. Necessary in the sense it could not have not existed. If it's eternal, it makes sense it's necessary. And my point of why value must be derived, is simply that it having eternal basis is a necessary quality of it, because it how things are. It's like why angles of trianges must add up 180 degrees. You can prove it by all sorts of proofs, but at the end, it's because it's a necessary quality. It's impossible for it be otherwise. It happens to be the case, and it happens that it also must be the case, by the very nature of triangles.
The same is true here of praise and value. It happens to be that they are eternally based and must be eternal.
