No one can even coherently define what "objective morality" would mean, let alone provide evidence that it exists. This entire thread stands as testament to that.
Morality is a value system. All value judgments are inherently subjective. "Objective morality" is a nonsense phrase.
Would you agree that everyone universally, regardless of culture, geography, etc; feels that it would be wrong to commit blank (insert the most heinous act propagated against children or humanity you can think of)?
If the answer is yes, my question is what is the source for that compulsion.
Would the reason that somethings are taboo (just don't feel right) in the experience of other animals be the same as it is for us? Is there a creator baboon who determines that the entire baboon clan shall shun certain behaviors?
