As DBP alluded to, it provokes ire in some when we hear the misinformation that's circulated about evolution parroted back to us. Some will say, "oh, not this again. For the 128,395th time now..." Don't take it personally, it's just exhaustion with the same go-round.
Again, evolution 101: life changes over time to suit its environment. Period. Full stop.
In the case of morality, we are community animals. We depend on each other to survive. Therefore, we form communities and concepts of "right and wrong" with our behavior toward each other so society can function. A society that allows rape, murder, theft, etc. would fall apart and therefore not be conducive to survival. To survive and adapt, we formed our conscience, sense of community and sense of fair play.
