Let us define morality as an action that reduces the chance of survival for an individual but that increases the chances of survival for another individual or individuals. Intelligence should be defined as being self-aware and able to make a concious decision ("Cogito ergo sum." - I think, therefore I am.) Memes (I thought you had read Dawkins) are merely ideas that have the power to bring people together and dictate actions or goals (such as Christianity, enviromentalism, liberalism.) Evolution has furthermore not been absolutely proven, but neither has relativity of evolution. For that matter, you can't even prove the Pythagorean Theorum. Just because it hasn't been absolutely proven doesn't mean evolution can't be taken for all intents and purposes to be true. Until other evidence is found, evolution can be assumed to be true.
