You don't believe that morality can have a rational basis without a supernatural entity telling us what to do? How odd.

If God spoke to us all, in clear unmistakable words, and announced that His work here was done, and He was leaving this universe forever in order to take care of business elsewhere, wouldn't we still be able to determine things like right, wrong, and truth?

It's like I said. God, the dutiful parent, has tried to train us up to be rational, thinking adults. Unfortunately, there are some who refused to "put childish things away."

Sure; for we DO have the Knowledge of Good and Evil.
