Morality undoubtably exists. Whether God provides it so that we can dicifer it or that it just exists as ideas in the aether that are rationally derivable; we all agree that morality exists.
I think all possible origins are covered by that statement. Its converse is demonstrably untrue. But it does nothing to unravel the origin of moral codes.

There are the simple observations that I am not all knowing or all powerful. Yet there is an all that is beyond my personal ability to comprehend it in detail or parcel let alone have the power to grasp or control.
Insufficient evidence. The conditions you stipulate can be net by any existence suuficiently larger and more complex than you regardless of origin.

There is a great deal of evidence that the universe is a purposeful place and that the purposes are beyond just purpetuating physical existence.

What do you consider a mystical experience?
Misfiring neurons.

What evidence do you have to refute it.
I have to refute the existence of a non-physical, non-demonstrable being? Since you make the claim of the existence of such, isn't the onus on you to prove it?

But even were I to admit such existed, it proves little. How do you know it is not Thor or Jupiter or Vishnu or Yahweh or Satan rather than Allah?

I have no clue how that would even be possible.
