If the laws of logic are human constructs then how can they be absolute
since humans think differently and often contradictorily? If they are
produced from human minds, and human minds are mutually contradictory,
then how can the constructs be absolute? Therefore, the laws of logic
are not human constructs.

Correct, they are scientific facts as are the laws of physics.

Let's look at this logically.

Premise 1:
The laws of logic are produced by human minds

Premise 2:
Human minds are mutually contradictory.

Conclusion:
Therefore the laws of logic cannot be absolute.
-------
The conclusion fails because premise 2 is gibberish.

I think you are thinking about this far more then Ramsey did.

He tends to favor gibberish and ignore everything else.

They aren't.
They just "are", and it doesn't take a deity to make them so.

I can imagine an object that isn't what it is.

So your claim is that these "Laws of Logic" are true?

Prove it:
