They don't have to, but if they don't their species wont survive to ask the question. Anthropic bias.
It's not that I "feel" that I don't know, I don't. I "feel" that it is absolutely and objectively wrong, but I can't demonstrate that this is the case, and our "feelings" have a demonstrable tendency to be in error and/or irrational.
If eternal morality did exist and was somehow linked to you that would not mean that you "knew" anything about it by default. Care to explain precisely how your liver works to me?

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
