Epistemically objective or ontologically objective?
1. If you mean epistemically objective your argument is invalid. Science is epistemically objective and no scientist is an absolute arbiter or god.
2. If you mean ontologically objective, what would that even mean? That there's some absolute right and wrong "out there" that is only knowable by a supreme mind that doesn't even exist, and that this absolute right and wrong that is "out there" is completely indistinguishable from its nonexistence from the perspective of actual human beings whom actually exist?
