Evolution provided us the means by which we might determine moral facts, if there are any; but the process of evolution itself did not, does not, and cannot determine what is right. It only describes what is natural.
When we ask ourselves. "What is right" we are not asking "what is natural". Amusingly, "natural law" falls to this same....properly basic...objection. So what if dicks were "made" for making babies. That doesn't tell us whether or not it's right to use them in that manner, only that it's natural. It;s strange that believers commonly recognize this issue whenever some non-believer describes their moral justification by reference to evolved empathetic traits....but develop amnesia when discussing their gods grand design.
