Co-eternal now are they? Well then, being equals in this little shells game, I'll choose the one I can side with without issue. Good.
This is the densest shit I've ever seen. "Morally good" by the standards of evolution? Garbage. There is only what works and what does not. You're looking for evolution to take the place of the god you've invented, without acknowledging that you actually have to invent the ground, before you invent the god to inhabit it. What one creature feels is "morally good" may (in some cases) have an evolutionary process behind it, or serve to provide that creature with an advantage over others, but it just as easily may not. "Evolution" actually doesn't give a shit, or set any standards in that regard, because it is nowhere even approaching the sort of process you seem to believe it to be.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
