If there was a demonstrable eternal basis for morality, it could very well be something you have not conceived of (or could not).
Well eternal basis has been argued for in other threads, but I think it's logical to assume this is a conscious being, as morality cannot be divorced from conscious.
You're still stuck on the assumption that the consciousness that morality is derived from is external to ourselves. I don't believe this has been demonstrated.
