"You have said that evolution prevents people from setting ethical guidelines for conduct--to "judge between right and wrong"; that just because we evolved we cannot use our reason or our judgment."

Poppycock! All I am saying is that the logical choices of an evolutionist are limited by the system. Of course you are free to, (and often do) make all the illogical choices you want, and of course; "There is nothing in evolution which prevents people from playing the piano..." It just has nothing to do with what we are discussing.

The logical choice from a strict evolutionary standpoint is "might is right". The romantic emotional choice is to imagine that it is rational to treat "one another according to certain objective standards." all the while denying objective standards exist.
