The reason our morality isn't derived form a higher being, is that for every moral you think is right there is most likely a society that thinks its right. If morality is inherent in all people than societies in general should have the same morals. The ancient Aztecs probally killed children in a fire evey year. Ancient warrior cultures were know to rape, kill, and eat the surrounding tribes and even the people within their own group. Morality is taught to children at a young age by the culture in which they grow up in. Its an evolutionary process devleoped by a social animal. Ants don't believe in a God, but they help each other at the sake of thier own lives.
