Whether God made them or not isn't really relevant to us, so long as they are hard-and-set rules (like gravity or the speed of light).Agreed, which is why I can never understand the "no god no objective this or thats". If there are objective metrics then regardless of the origin of those metrics objective this and that's are in.

Nothing about the above implies this...not even remotely. You must have some other thing in mind that you didn't communicate. Wouldn't natural law satisfy objectivity even in the case of human behavior and thought?
