Pretty sure you can compare cultures where stealing is okay and stealing is not okay and see how well the populations are getting on, scientifically. It's been said before, also, that giving women the right to own their own property, the right to work, access to education and freedom over their own reproduction raises the economical and sociological floor of any mud-hut 3rd world village. There are lots of moral values that can be shown through scientific method to be the best, or at least a good, way for human societies to function under. But anyway, morality is relative to the person, and comes from people. This can be seen in all the religious people who move between, say, Christian churches to find the one that more closely match and espouse the values that they themselves hold. No God told them what values were good or bad, they just seek out the ones that they like and then claim divine providence on the issue after the fact.
