If morality is linked directly to survival in every phase, it is compatible with evolution. If, however, some completely non-selfish qualities are revealed, we must appeal to a Creator with more than propagation in mind.
You are free to believe that our conscience and moral compass come from God if you wish. I should like to know how you account for the fact that I am morally aghast as I read the Bible, that this very natural function of my conscience is appalled by all the rape, genocide, slavery, infanticide and other atrocities ordered by or committed by Yahweh, the being you call "God".
