You are beginning to fling insults here. You really haven't made a logical case for worth and values being objective (i.e., existing outside of the perception of the viewer). When you can point to a measurable property of an object and say, this is its worth, you will have a valid argument.
God is infinite and eternal. He is the infinite reference point that is needed. Therefore, He is objective. He created, oversees and holds together the entire universe - that makes Him objective.

No insults intended - please don't take them that way. I was only pointing out the glaring contradictions in your catholicism vs. your materialism. You are made in God's image as I am and you deserve the same respect that I do. I will try to be less forceful from here on out.

Ahh...empiricism rears its ugly head! Tell me, how do you measure or test the proposition that all reality is measurable? Your method falls under its own weight.
Oh, I have made a logical case - no doubt about it. Your logic is horribly flawed - it does not fit human reality at all. The fact is that humans (except sociopaths) instinctively believe human life has objective worth (read our founding documents); the fact is that humans go home and love their family members AS IF those family members had value, and AS IF the love was meaningful! If all is meaningless matter in motion in a godless universe, LOGIC DEMANDS that love and people are no more meaningful than a rock, and even if you think otherwise, your thoughts are no more meaningful than the impersonal random stimuli that created them. Your logic is at odds with human behavior - you live a hopeless dichotomy!; your logic is at odds with the mannishness of man. In the world of materialism, the mannishness of man is EXCLUDED. Logic demands it. You simply have not reached the logical conclusion of your worldview - you are blind to it. That is unfortunate. I do not mean to put you down - only to show you the contradictions in your thinking. I do not mean to offend.
