A moral fabric pervades this entire universe. You do good you get good back. You do evil you get evil back.
Sorry, only just picked up on that.
Is that a fact or a belief?
If it's a fact then, as far as I can see, morality plays no part in the laws which we perceive to govern the universe. The universe is magnificently amoral - natural catastrophes wipe out the devout as well as the lax, while many a wrong 'un prospers, lives to a ripe old age and dies in his bed.
If, however, it is a belief, then it's one to which you're entitled, but it means no more than the tooth fairy, Father Christmas or the divinity of Christ. It certainly has no part to play in a discussion of ethics or scientific method.
