You asked a question that has been debate by people far more intelligent than us for many many years. It's impossible to give a difinative answer as there isn't one. Sorry if the answer didn't help. But it's the answer regardless. * +

Morality and values are contrivances of religion. Religions that have formed the history and foundations of our societies. So the concept of right and wrong has always been there in concept although the values of application are less than constant. Just saying. * +

Cultural anthropologists have long recognized how all human societies have similar basic norms of moral conduct. Marc Hauser, professor of evolutionary biology at Harvard University, has just published a paper about additional studies showing that peoples moral intuitions do not vary much across different religions all around the world. From an evolutionary perspective, that means that human morality is very old -- old enough to pre-date any religion that exists today. Furthermore, basic morality is highly resistant to religious influence -- most people easily reject religious rules that violate their basic moral intuitions. Rather, religions all tend to confirm and support human morality, because that essential morality sustains our schemes of social cooperation.
