Objective morality

Are you saying that logic and reason have no abiding value? If they are not consistent doesn't that make the pursuit of knowledge futile?

From this you conclude what? That the universe has no underlying order? That it is completely random? Does the validity of mathematics disappear in a black hole too? Or do even black holes have rules to live by.

I do not currently have the knowledge to affirm or deny this. I thought this was still an open question in astrophysics, whether the universe expands indefinitely or collapses back on itself. Either way the fact that the physical universe changes state does not undermine the idea that reality's structure (the truths of math, validity of logic, etc.) manifest in the physical is different from one place to another or under some conditions and not others. To assert otherwise is deny the possibility of acquiring knowledge.
