I think this is where JA gets the existentialism from, an amoral or
indifferent universe.  Since we are part of such a universe, how did
we get morality?  What divine power did we acquire to do that?  Yes,
the universe is intrinsically moral, that is why we have such a
concept, and do our best to act on it.  Plants do the same thing,
except in their own way, which we could never understand from an
anthropomorphic view.  We cannot leave man as the creator of all these
things, that just does not stand to reason.  We cannot create morality
from nothingness.  As Ham states, Nothing can be created from
Nothingness.  He seems to have made an exception here.  Unless, of
course, Morality is Nothing.  This reminds me of a spaghetti Western
called My Name is Nobody.  Terence Hill was good in all of those.

The dark beer sounds pretty good right now.  I may take a peek.
