Why? Because you say so?

I guess so.

And who are you to disagree with me?

Where does your moral authority come from? General consensus? Genetic changes? ... Dietary Supplements?

On what basis were the actions of Hitler wrong? Because you didn't like them?

I thought we were engaged in a rational discussion, not in a tournament to decide the most upstanding. You said that a conclusion that we are no more responsible than rocks follows from a premise that we evolved. I'm saying: tell me why.

I wouldn't expect a condemnation on that basis to be convincing, but on the other hand it's no worse a reason than 'because he did something some hypothetical supernatural being allegedly said not to do.'
