Scientific and historical facts are all natural facts, so objective goodness doesn't lay somewhere among these natural facts, in the non-naturalist view.
I did indicate what i believe, that I believe in a non-natural reality, akin to Plato's Form of the Good. And this is the belief I'm defending, primarily against atheists who subscribe to a natural moral realism,
Acro, if you cut off my head, is it a fact that that is bad for me?
No, the only scientific/historical fact here is that I cut off your head.
Now if we to talk about facts about our brain states when contemplating the idea of cutting your head, we can provide a similar set of facts about this as well. That it was probably very painful, that you prior to getting your head off, probably wish it didn't happen. That your family and friends would be sad for your loss, and a bunch of other facts like this.
