Resolved: God is the best explanation for morality

Thank you, Sir.Lancelot, for accepting this debate!

Note this debate will be winner select

INTRO

In this debate I will be arguing for one major contention: God is the best explanation of morality. By that, I mean that the existence of objective moral facts is best explained by positing the existence of a supreme being. By "best explanation." I mean it is superior to competing theories in terms of its explanatory scope, explanatory power, plausibility, less ad hocness, accord with already accepted beliefs, and comparative superiority. The argument goes like this [1}:

1. If God does not exist, objective moral values do not exist.
2. Objective moral values do exist.
3. Therefore, God exist
.
=== Definitions ==
Morality: principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behavior.
Moral realism:
Objective: True regardless of human opinions.
