How do you justify that? I don't believe that my Ford Mustang was created by God, but I see it as a good thing to have. Thus, it is good, independant of a God. It shows the ingenuity of mankind and how far they have progressed with automotive technology and fuel-cell processing.
A car is not good because there is a god, but is good because certain people think it is. Other people may think it's bad, and that's still independant of a god. You have no proof or justification for making a claim of the goodness of god, and until you do, you will not be heard in the way you want to be.
