We seem to be in a loop. You want to prove morals come from heaven and hell; I argue morals need not come from any absolute external authority and can self organize through the action of intellectual self preservation instinct of humanity.

No one has ever changed their beliefs because he read some pithy "proof" on a web post. I am trying to understand your logic better. You are proposing that the self-preservation instinct allows for a social matrix of universal empathy towards the weaker and the inferior. My observations and application of your assumptions do not lead to such society.
Observe any living group in action: lions will kill other lions not belonging to their pride, oak trees will kill off any seedling that is invades its territory, omegas and gammas in a wolf pack do not reproduce, male bears will kill any bear cubs that wander into its view, etc. If your conclusion is that the tribal separation and intraspecies wars are our given fate, then I absolutely concur with that conclusion. If you are advocating the liquidation of the infirm, sick, and the genetically inferior, then based on your premise, I concur with that conclusion.
From your premise, I cannot deductively arrive at some hippy free-love for all society based solely on survival instinct, no matter how intelligent the animal may be.
