Thats a bad reasoning.
You (subjectively) do not belive there is something that is objectively wrong and therefore to murder an innocent person is just a subjective thing for you, even though you cannot find anything subjective its dependent on.
So, logic pushes it to be objective, but your disbelief in objectivness makes you to reject it.

Can you define the difference between a living body but without conciousness (like somebody being on intensive care support) and
How exactly is it dependent on humans or on their opinions?
If some psychopat thinks its a good thing to murder somebody innocent on a street, does the moral law as such become subjective? No, its still objectively wrong and the murderer is morally ill.

I think I am OK with the wiki definition:
"Objectivity is a central philosophical concept, objective means being independent of the perceptions... Generally, objectivity means the state or quality of being even outside a subject's individual biases, interpretations, feelings, and imaginings."

So when I do not agree with the theory of relativity, its not an objective law?
Or, when I do not agree with evolution, it is not an objective fact, then?

Validity and objectivity is independent on agreement of individuals. Individuals can think in a right or in a wrong way. Dependent on how they comply with objective laws, with reality.

God is not his creative handiwork.
Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
The things of God are invisible.
But you can see them plainly in God’s creation.
Yet, atheists claim they are blind and can’t see the things of God. But the scripture says that God showed the atheists the evide

And God deniers are indeed religious. Seeking what they say they don’t think exists.

I disagree that In general, it is genetically beneficial not to hurt others.
Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. Look at the animal kingdom. Lions dogs cats birds. sometimes they will cooperate with other members of their species, sometimes they fight.
The same is true with humans. Sometimes it makes sense to cooperate with other humans, other times it makes sense to take your Spear and try to drive away the Rival Hunting Party.
from an evolutionary Viewpoint, every human behavior is the result of evolutionary processes. Does rape occur? It is the result of evolution.
I understand the genes don't actually decide anything. I was simply personifying them to make it easier, more everyday life, to talk about.
culture is simply a term we use to describe the behaviors of large groups of humans. but these behaviors are all products of evolution, genes.
