What does it even mean to say that morality is objective or subjective?
If our morality stems from biologically encoded pack instincts that have evolved, then they objectively exist as common patterns of neuronal wiring within our brains, yet we feel them subjectively.
If you say that morals are objective, then there is something that you can point, you can observe, measure, pick up, destroy and say is morality.
If you say that morals continue to exist even if the human race does not, then what is morality? What's it made out of? Where did it come from? How does it function and interact with the rest of the world? Or does it just sit there doing nothing?
We can answer all these questions with the idea of morality being a common way that human brains are wired. You can't answer any of them.
You say that morality is objective yet you've never seen morality and don't even know what it is.
But where is the evidence that morality can evolve? Why is morality there?

I don't know how this excuses your plagarism, but to answer your question, my morality is as objective as your morality, the difference being that I understand that morality is an offshoot of human evolution as a social species and is subject to change and improvement over time.
We are both far from perfect, I acknowledge that, you deny it.
