Why would there be objectively bad or good things outside of morality...but not within it? I really cant stress enough that the issue of moral realism is not whether we form subjective moral opinions. That's the most common and most central misunderstanding of the position. We do that. The question of moral realism is whether or not those opinions accurately report relevant facts. They may not have any special significance at the scale of the universe, or the solar system...but they only need to be significant within the much smaller realm of us to be what they purport to be.
