As far as I know morality doesn't exist in any place other than in the minds of human beings.
You might as well ask if thought was created from nothing which would be pointless because our brains create our thoughts dependent on sustenance and sensory information received.
Why do our brains create thoughts based in morality? The same reason we have thoughts about food, drink, shelter and sex. Survival. Animals that travel in groups are more likely to survive and procreate which means it is beneficial to contribute to the survival of the group as a whole. This would lead to acts of kindness, selflessness and courage. The groups who co-operated the most would be the most likely to pass down their genes thus increasing the probability of "morale" behaviour manifesting itself as an innate attribute of the species as a whole. Combine this with high intellect and adaptability causing this behaviour to take more complex forms to maximize co-operation and by default survival and you end up with the human races modern take on morality.
