1. If God does not exist, objective moral values do not exist.
2. Objective moral values do exist.
3. Therefore, God exists.
Actually, premise one isn't just untrue, it's nonsensical: an objective moral value, by definition, could not disappear in the absence of god's subjective mind. The whole point of objective things is that they don't require subjective experience to exist.
What you really mean to say is that if god does not exist, god's opinions on morality don't exist. You're mistaking the opinion of a divine being as an objective truth, but that's not what "objective" means.
