So his argument is that simply because we don't completely understand the development of moral sentiment, then it must come from a supernatural god.
Lol, pretty weak argument. There are lots of things we don't understand about ourselves and the natural world. That doesn't mean it comes from something "above nature."

I think he's nailed it on evolution, conscience, and human nature. Although I agree with him about reason, he didn't prove his point, but asserted it. (It's possible that the reasoning of wicked men is flawed reasoning. I don't think so, but some wise people -- Plato, Aristotle, Socrates -- did.)
Not sure about utilitarianism.
I would like to hear more about the "since it isn't that..." bit. Sure, since right and wrong are not physical characteristics, they are outside physical reality. Certainly: they are abstractions. I don't know if abstractions are supernatural.
"If there is a moral command, there must be a moral commander": sounds logical, but I want to hear more of why. OK, so it's a 5-minute video. Credit to Kreeft for a clear explanation in a complex topic.Thanks for posting; I will have to look at some others in that series.
