By universal to you mean it applies to God as well? It don't think it has to. Take the statement "Jesus died for the sins of the world". Is this a statement of universal truth? I think it is yet it doesn't apply to God. Jesus didn't die for God's sins since he doesn't have any. 🙂
Wasn't the issue of universal wrongness about torturing babies "for fun"?
The terminating of a baby's life (not for sheer amusement) may sometime be good.
But it would be a very, VERY difficult scenario for me to imagine.
And I wouldn't like to have to make the decision about that because my wisdom is limited.
A difficult scenario though, doesn't mean an absolute moral standard does not exist.
The difficulty demonstrates that human wisdom is limited. It does not follow that God's wisdom is limited.
On one hand the limited wisdom of man does not let him off the hook that he can have anarchy and moral lawlessness. On the other hand no code of instructions either from man or from God (perhaps) is adequate to enable man to navigate through every hypothetical situation out of an infinite combination of particulars.
