Do you mean a moral code or knowing the difference between good and bad? Because they are different.
You have to keep in mind that you won't like my answer either way because I believe in evolution and you believe in creationism.
Your source of morality comes from a book that was written so a sect of Jews could keep all the money. Priests. Most people couldn't read during that time, so they had to rely on the ruling classes that could read. Unless you are saying that Adam wrote the Bible. I'm not sure who could have written Genesis, though, as men weren't created first. Religion is so confusing.
I think morality is intrinsic. It developed in humans over time, like any other adaptation, to insure the survival of the tribe. Maternal instinct, property rights, caring for the ill all predate any religion.
