Evolution cannot account for morality

[Jehanne]

Since when is evolution supposed to account for morality?

In post #11 on this thread, Astreja asserts that evolution can account for morality.

None of us are authorities; does it really matter what any of us think? Among experts, views differ. Evolution is a fact, like gravity. Morality also exists, but, we didn't get it from any of the monotheistic religions, at least in the West. Modern society has much more to do with Hobbes, Locke and the deistic French philosophes than it does with conservative Christianity who, if they ever get real power, will just end up fighting amongst themselves. The majority of Americans are prepared to pay lip service to religious claims; few want another Thirty Years War.
