MK, I believe the expression you are looking for is "circular logic." And yes, this does seem to be a case of circular logic.
Double implications exist.
A -> B
B -> A
Therefore A <->B.
It's not circular reasoning. It's that both imply one another.
If there existed a child, there existed a parent.
If there existed a parent, there existed a child.
That's a double implication in the definition of child and parent.
The same can be true of morality because of it's relationship to God as the source.
