There is NO basis for moral law in evolution other than human preference. If you can make a case that there is a basis for such, do so.

This is like talking to a brick wall.

Saying it is neutral doesn't work, because in standing against Scripture and the supernatural it has forfeited such neutrality.

Evolution contradicts a literal reading of your personal favorite creation story. It does not contradict any moral teaching, per se.

"see, science say that lice came about 70,000 years ago (or whatever, I can't see the thread right now). The Bible can't be right!"

The first person to bring the Bible into it was an anti-evolution poster.

It has no basis for moral teaching other than preference. You can choose to be a Mother Teresa or a Hitler and there is no foundation other than preference to say that you are wrong. Evolution produces a relativistic society because it makes man equal with animals, evolved from primordial goo, with no real dibs on any moral claim. IF your society says Hitler was a genocidal monster, according to that opinion, you can prosecute him by the rules of that society. However, another society may beg to differ. Without an immovable moral law, given by one higher than human beings, then you have an unstable democracy - at best.
