Beginnings

I suspect that most would acknowledge that everything that currently exists has an ultimate beginning.   I also suspect that how one views that beginning speaks volumes about their worldview.   Here are three options for what caused that beginning, each of which has ramifications for ones values and moral code.

1.   Everything that exists was created from nothing.  Absolute nothing.

2.   Everything that exists was created by some impersonal force.  Energy, matter, gravity, time, chance, whatever.

3.   Everything that exists was created by some personal force.

It's interesting that this has been ignored given how much bearing it has on where morals come from and what value they have.
