    The closest I can come to 'divine intervention' when talking about the source of morality is that another person occupies the same privleged position in the universe as do I, and is equally a child of the marvellous process that brought us to be. You would attach a label to that process, and attempt to draw conclusions about it based on something other than evidence. I would not.
    I guess in that regard I am more of a theist than you might suspect, but I see no need for faith - I do not need faith to believe that I am an unfathomably complex and unlikely and precious result of the evolution of the universe, and to draw up princples of behavior toward my fellow man based soley upon that.
