People can arrive at moral principles by observing Nature precisely because we live in an intelligently ordered universe and Man has the capacity to think having been created in the image of a rational Creator. You are only addressing the epistemological question of how we can know moral principles and not the ontological basis explaining how there can be any kind of morality at all.
You are welcome to place your flag and claim morality for Christianity but I am not compelled by your argumemt.  Your god is man made and so is the moral teachings ascribed to him. All morality is human morality.
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!
