That morality isn't part of the structure of the universe, but 'merely' part of how humans are?
So then survival or more specifically propagating DNA is the basis of morality? This "just so" story, doesn't tell you what ought to be, but only what was most successful in furthering their genetic line. I don't think that you can equate morality to survival of the fittest, and sometimes that includes the immoral.
Once again, I didn't say that. I said that our moral sense is because that sense increased our survival. Do you see the difference?
