Morality and ethics are generally (for the most part) based on courses of action that will minimize causing harm to people, damaging their property, and hurting people either physically or emotionally.

As such, morality is extremely rational, for the most part, and is not arbitrary in the least.

(one will find some specific exceptions to that, but most human ideas of morality are based upon not causing harm, being helpful to others, and improving things rather than making things worse)

Therefore, I doubt that the Universe is inherently ammoral in its basic nature...when it comes to living beings. Morality makes a lot more sense than ammorality, and I think you will find some moral consciousness among a great many living things....not just humans...because it is rational and sensible for more advanced living things to develop their own forms of morality. It enhances their survival when they do and it improves their lives. That's evolution in a nutshell.
