...but rather *If there’s no God, where did good come from? Why is there good in the world?*

He absolutely did addressed this:

“But if, on the other hand, we refuse to accept this conclusion, insisting, for example, that it is always and objectively true that you should love your neighbour and you shouldn’t torture children, we are led away from atheism. The presence within us of an objective moral law ‘written on our hearts’ points instead to the existence of an eternal Goodness and Intelligence which created us and our universe, enables us to think, and is the eternal source of our best and deepest values.”

I think this is his KEY point!

OK. I didn’t mean him as such, but just the atheists in general who ask that question.

Yes, HE did address it, but I don’t hear that in general from others. Usually it’s just the first one.
