The use of objectivity is neither justified or established by a transcendant cause, i.e. God, anymore than it is by naturalistic explanation. This seems to depend on an extreme form of the PSR, implying that everything must have an explanation. It's trivial to define God as a lawgiver. Such definitions come cheap. It does not follow from an inability of a naturalist to justify their use of the objective that objectivity requires a transcendant cause. That's an argument from ignorance. Let's call a spade a spade. You're arguing that the existence of objective facts requires God. That's the most ludicrous assertion I've heard lately and is not supported by an argument from ignorance.
So digging through all the unnececary filler, your response is we don't need a explanation for everything is that correct?
No, my objection is that you're making an argument from ignorance and so your conclusion is invalid. Furthermore, you've yet to justify how God provides any better explanation for objectivity that is in any way superior to it merely being a brute fact. Goddidit! and Brute Fact have exactly the same explanatory value. Neither is superior to the other as an explanation for why there are objective facts.
