First, not everyone believes in a Devine creator so even though one person may believe that their gods' commandments maybe holy it does not mean that the person next to him has the same belief. Essentially it boils down to: everyone's moral and ethical beliefs vary. Divine command theory fails when you're speaking to someone who is not of "Faith" because their moral foundation may not be that of God. Another one would possibly be the vilitiy of those ethics. Just as anything, Christiananity cannot be proved. I cannot be proved through science or reason or logic. People can accumulate evidence to support it or to attack it but neither side can absouletly prove it. That same thing applies to the divine command theory. Since no religion or there lack of religion can be proved neither can the commands of the deities or there lack of deities. Of course, this applies to anything. This is another reason why everything as far as "right and wrong" is an argument with someone somewhere.
