Even though we aren't 100% certain that the human brain/mind is the source of morality and goodness, it is reasonable to expect that it is the case, since morality is an exclusively human concern and no other organism possesses a human brain. Tomato plants, zebras, sea sponges and oysters (for example) are conspicuously lacking in displays of moral behaviour.
What I am saying, is we don't know it's not just a fantasy and illusion we act upon.
What if it is mechanism to confirm to norms and values your society comes up with but there is no universal morality that encompasses all of us.
Perhaps it's a chaotic process we use to bring order but paradoxical because we disagree and it makes thing badly of people who think opposite to us, it brings just as much bloodshed and disorder, and it brings just as much hate as it does love.
What I am saying there is no way to know what we are experiencing is something we should actually heed if naturalism is true. We don't know and like you said if it is a human thing what if another species that is sentient like us, they have a ritual where the males compete in some sort of sport, and then are giving ranks and outcomes, and then get to choose females who have to accept whoever chooses them. What if that was their mating process?
I take the male and female and the mercy and tranquility that God has put between us manifesting the truth of being created through truth and his name, and it's of the clear signs of the light and connection to the source.
Even the male and female relationship is not chaotic but has a reality with respect to God's image and descent of his Name, by which he established and created all bonds and will continue to do so through his name.
Another premise which is similar and proves that premise and can be used as substitute, is:
"If we don't know whether morality has a mystic nature or not, we aren't justified in believing it's not an illusion we act upon".
The fact is love, morality, value, and inner beauty all point to the one.
Another way to look at it and this proves both premises, the one you quotes and the one I just stated is: "goodness in all possible worlds has one definition and reality" and since we know it's possible it originates from God while we don't know it's possible it originates from anything else, it's proven to be from God.
