On objective moral values, they’re not physical things, just like numbers or logic aren’t made of matter. They’re real, but they’re grounded in the nature of God, not in human opinion. That’...
On objective moral values: That's just your opinion. Prove it.
"you can't actually get to today if there's an infinite number of days before it"
Then when did God create the universe? You can't get to that day if there's an infinite number of days before it.
"information always come from a mind"
That's just your opinion.
If you define "information" such that it must always come from a mind, then either DNA might not be/contain information or you are begging the question.
If you don't define information in this way, you have yet to make your case.
"Physics shows the universe is fine-tuned in ways so exact that blind chance is incredibly unlikely"
"Fine-tuned" is loaded language that presumes it could be otherwise and was chosen this way.
"Blind chance is incredibly unlikely" doesn't actually make sense when you have no idea what process generates universes. Maybe it's incredibly likely that if there's a universe it behaves like ours. Maybe it's certain. What are the odds of flipping heads ten times in a row? What if the coin has heads on both sides? Similarly, you don't know what the "heads" and "tails" are of whatever "blind chance" generates the universe. Maybe it's almost all heads. Maybe it's all heads. Then the fact that we actually see all heads shouldn't surprise us at all or make us doubt that "blind chance" is sufficient to cause the result.
"The simplest explanation is that the universe had a beginning" except you don't stop there. You invoke some sort of pre-universe that did not have a beginning. A simpler explanation is that instead of having infinite universe (A, which you might call heaven or God or something to that effect) and finite universe (B) we only have infinite universe (A, which might be here) or finite universe (B, which is here if A is not here) and not both.
