So, I read Elliot's entire argument on his website, and...not impressed.
His entire argument is predicated on a false dichotomy. Not only that, his acronym SCPNCEU stands for, " Something can come from ''PURE-Nothingness'' and then create entire universe(s)."
No one (except ignorant or dishonest apologists) claims anything like this.
So he is also guilty of a straw man.
If I have time later, I might post more on why the Elliot argument is invalid and unsound. But if you google 'refuting the Elliot argument', there is more than enough good refutations to be found.
I mean, come on, this Elliot guy turned off comments on his YT vid because he was getting mercilessly slapped around.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
