I would say that objective morality does not exist, as proven by history.
how do use objective morality to show evidence of God
Logic doesn't tell you what you want.Objective morality doesn't really exist. We could set up objective morals using logic, but people aren't really into being intelligent these days. Either way, it would not / does not prove the existence of God.
Except that?Nothing is 100% objective.
Except that?
Logic doesn't tell you what you want.
Logic can be used to decide what the best way of achieving what you want is, but it cannot tell you what goal to work towards. (Except in service of a bigger goal.) In that way, even formally derived morality is dependent on what is considered "good" to begin with.What do you mean?

Even if objective morality did exist, it would not be proof of God.
The common argument is that either something is right because God says it's right or God says that it's right because it is objectively right. If the first case is true, then morality is subjective, as it is just the opinion of God. If the second case is true, then objective morality is beyond God and thus doesn't need God to exist.

[...]but that objective system is founded on the subjective interpretations that went into determining the standard in the first place (for example justifying the selection of particular characteristics as opposed to others).
however there is nothing to suggest that such a set describes some universal, objective ethical framework.
even if one DID exist, we have no means by which to ascertain it without resorting to subjectivity.
I am an Ignostic, I am completely aware of what you are saying given its similarity to theological noncognitivism
there are potentially more than one consistent and coherent set of statements, which could be used to describe a concept of 'objective morality'... with no way to determine which of these potential concepts is 'correct'.
