The whole"concept" of God and everything associated with him just sounds awfully way too big to just be made up. Especially when you consider the time period religion first started, when human intelligence still hadn't evolved much.

His being nervous is no proof of a diety, it's only proof he's afraid of getting caught and losing his freedom.

It's a good point and true to a degree, but as noted Chris almost has a nervous breakdown after the murders and then sees imaginary ghosts of the victims, even if it's in his dreams. It points to the intrinsic guilt of breaking a universal moral law and not merely fear of getting caught, particularly since there was no reason for him to think that the murders would be traced to him at this point.

". there are intrinsic moral laws in the physical universe. For instance, if there are no such laws why does Chris almost have a nervous breakdown after committing the murders?"
Chris could simply have a conscience, that is a trait that he has inherited, because it was advantageous to his ancestors to have a conscience.

Unfortunately there are a lot of human beings who will always think they are so smart that they have to be able to explain everything, and find reason for everything. And if they can't, it must not be true. This is because they're thinking with finite, human minds.
Belief in God, the life of Jesus and the Bible itself rely heavily on faith. There are so many things that can't be explained with a human mind, and that's what separates God from everyone else. His ways are not our ways. And it's easy to disregard or question Him because we don't agree with His ways. Ways that test our faith, but will be explained someday. For those who believe.
As for those who find a lack of truth in the Bible, contradictions and inconsistencies, it's because they don't understand it. And they've never taken the time to study it or understand it. They've too heavily disregarded it to give it the time it needs to be understood. They take quotes, events and concepts out of context and try to suggest that God justifies it. No He doesn't. The Bible is full of human fallibility. The events and the misdeeds are brought on by humankind. Not God. God gave us a chance to make the right decision and we didn't.
They take things out of context, which shows any lacking of understanding of the doctrine in historical context, or anything else..and then profess it as inconsistencies.
