True enough, but what I was getting at is that the morality we make for ourselves is informed by reality and our reactions to it. We know that fire burns us, that burning feels unpleasant and harms us, and so there's no society on earth that deems throwing people into fires a moral good.
I don't any of us enjoy being hungry and it is clear knowledge that there are thousands of child who starve to death each day. Yet, why are there not enough people doing something about this to eradicate world hunger?

What if a person feels it is perfectly ok to kill someone and claims he is going by "survival of the fittest?" What if I go around claiming I'm an atheist, does that make me an atheist? And if I then say or do things contradictory of an atheist does that mean all atheists have a bad rep? Hitler said he was a Christian, but his actions and life say otherwise.
This will be my first direct rebuttal to you that is meant in all seriousness. You are consistently mischaracterizing evolution and what it entails. Please, please, please educate yourself. To continue is to be intentionally dishonest, and I'm sure that is on the list of 'no-nos' your god prescribes.
'Survival of the Fittest' does not just mean the strongest or the biggest bully. It also means the organism that best excels inside its species' social constructs, the smartest, the quickest, the most agile---likely some combination of these superlatives.
Why do you insist on being so dense?
I appreciated your response until you had to end it with an insult. Oh well.

If that be the case how come after millions of years for our dna and genes to evolve that humans still are susceptible to disease, mental illness, and mental retardation?
