Kingpin: It seems to me you're argueing for an external value, like I mentioned earlier. It's only objective in that it's objectively true God values human life. It's still his opinion, ultimately.
I don't know why you would assume God does value life anyway, he may not even be aware of it, unless you're making lots of unfounded assumptions about his nature and abilities.
In whatever reality "God" is in, other beings may well not give a monkeys about life in this reality, even if "God" does. How much do you care, for example, about potential self aware "beings" in a virtual world, manifesting from a computer program I run? If they are there, I'm not aware of them, even though I'm their "God".
