Sure enough, your offspring won't pass on your genes when you kill them, so for evolution that's a big no-go!
On the problem of evil, other species are much worse. When a bear is seeking a mate, and finds a female with cubs, he kills off the cubs because a bear doesn't want to just sow his genes - "There Can Be Only ONE!!!" is it's philosophy (actually, She-Bear won't mate with him while she has cubs to raise). So, after Mr. Bear has murdered her cubs, what does she do? Does she attack him in retribution for her cubs? Nope, she immediately undergoes physiological changes, and willingly mates with that despicable, murdering brute, because that's survival for you to replace the cubs that were lost when the opportunity is right in front of you. Still, isn't bear philosophy disgustingly unjust, self-centered, and depravedly indifferent to any principles which Gawd would have for us? So, then, I would have to ask the blithering theist, why does he think there's anything typically "sinful" regarding human behavior?
Mr. Hanky loves you!
