"Inasmuch as human concepts such as good and evil are not known to be in the domain of physics... As far as I know you are correct about this. "it remains a dubious quest from the outset to discover "moral" laws external to human consciousness and subjective opinion." Right again in the context of proving objectively by observations within the physical universe. I chose the term "self evident" which all by itself is kind of a dubious thing. But I am convinced the universality of moral ideals (absolutes) is recognizable by self aware individuals who with normal psycology. "You've simply given a tautology: good is good." Yes, I suppose that is how I see "moral absolute." After all morality is simply a system of "rights and wrongs" or "goods and bads" standards. The absolutes are simply listing the goods and the bads in their purest idea...Compassion is good, charity is good, kindness is good, consideration is good, etc. Greed is bad, corruption is bad, polution is bad, cruelty is bad, etc.
