Exactly. Evolution doesn't offer any morality in the exact same way that organic chemistry, plate tectonics, and nuclear physics don't offer any morality. They're sciences, not morality systems.

Nor does Creation inherently offer any morality. A Creator could just as easily wish into being a world that is unjust and immoral. Just look at the Creation Myth Humber believes. Humans were not given any moral choice--in fact, they were denied the ability to do so. They lacked the basic knowledge of right and wrong. Remember the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil? Adam and Eve were forbidden to partake of it. Mankind wasn't given the task of making a moral choice, but of blind obedience. A creation of, "don't think, do as I say." There was no morality there. There was no choice. It wasn't until Adam and Eve sinned, and gained the knowledge of Good and Evil that man had the capacity to make any sort of moral choice. In the Creation Myth of Humber's world, we owe our morality to the Serpent, not YHWH.
