As an interesting side conversation on the subject-
What do you think are the major stumbling blocks with regards to finding or creating this objective morality. For example, just those statements you've made on these boards would suggest to me that it wouldn't be too hard to create it, since we have that exacting a definition and a suggestion as to where to look. What are the problems with objective morality that you have found? How did you find yourself in the "it might exist/we could create it" camp whilst being simultaneously unable to offer objective morality up to us? Say we created/found objective morality, are there any obstructions on the way to universal application that jump out at you?
