Absolute ethics in an absolute world

We have always thought of the universe and existing by itself, religions say it is God created, and scientists think it is chance created (though chance is near zero) and determinism guides the happening in the universe, in such a conceptualization of the universe, ethics is an open issue, one can define it in suit one's own liking and preferences.

Now look at the following alternative: Freedom not determinism is the rule that created and guides the happening in the universe. with this starting point, it is matter, which created the universe; it means that matter can think and make choices i.e it made progress by trial and error and created the viable universe (as a flow of quantum gravity, and a unique combination of the values of fundamental constants of nature c, G. and h), the process being the process of advancement of knowledge given to us by Sir Karl Popper. in this universe, progress comes by trial and error and learning from mistakes made, thus chance is not a pure chance but one that is progressively increasing, this is one up on the current chance theory which has only zero chance. this kind of universe has consequences for value theory and ethics. anything that promotes the advancement of knowledge is the correct ethics, and things that do not promote the advancement of knowledge is unethical!
