His viewpoint is that an ordered universe is a given in all worldviews, it’s not, I’ve studied this, he obviously has not, he’s ignorant, but assuming an air of superiority,

thus, acting like any liberal that you’ve ever argued with.

The Judaeo-Christian worldview led to modern science. Eastern philosophy and Islam inherently could not.
