[MD] Is Morality innate in the cosmos?

[Heather Perella]

Hello,
         There is a little unintentional deception in
who is writing here.  My wife's name will pop-up in
the heading (as Heather), yet, it is I who is writing
in this discussion (Spiritual Adirondack or SA or
whatever other decent and proper name is used).
         The discussion is based on whether morality
is human invented or universally fixed - gotch ya, I
see.  On the one hand the universe allows morality, as
we have come to call it (it being morals); and even if
humankind societies invent(ed) morality the universe
has a place for them and therefore, the universe has
morals, we notice them in humankind, at the least for
now I will stick this discussion entry with humankind.
 On the other hand, do we pick up these morals from a
deposit (the universe) that has already made them (the
morals), and we just become aware of these morals and
learn about them from outside of humankind invention
and society.  Maybe the difficulty is in us trying to
place an origin for these things we call morals as
something definite, pin-point, and going from one
place to another place.  Yet, think about astronomy
which states the universe has no center.  There was a
time when some humans thought the sun revolved around
the earth, later the earth around the sun, now we
observe the sun and earth going around a black hole in
the middle of the Milky Way galaxy, and everything is
expanding from an event 4 Billion years ago - all of
this being of One place with no definable center and
astronomers also say - the center could be considered
everywhere, too.  So where could morals have come
from?  I would also ask where are morals now?  First,
morals come from the universe, yet, the standard,
universal morals are cultural diverse and similar,
just as snowflakes are diverse and all for the most
part - white.  Yet, in their diversity they hold an
essence we call moral.  Secondly, morals are now in
this universe.  Do we learn of morals from outside
ourselves, or do we invent them on our own?  Something
must be outside of us that supports morals or morals
would have no place in this universe.  Or else, our
will to have something anti-universe exist in a
universe is very, very, etc... strong.  We are
inventive.  This niche of morals, we as humankind are
able to exploit, has diversified with societies in
differing places on this earth each having found
particular diverse and/or similar morals that have
become useful for survival.
