You would have to argue then that morality can not be a naturally occurring phenomena,
Actually, I am only pointing out that science does not address morality.
and that would pose a dilemma for evolution.
Why?
Why is it do you think that evolutionary psychology (which incidentally falsifies your claim) attempts to explain these things..
There is a difference between explaining the existence of certain accepted moral standards in humans as a result of evolution in primates and claiming that the theory of evolution directly implies that certain actions are morally acceptable or unacceptable.

Well, that's one of the problems, since it introduces nature as the arbiter. It is pure folly to think that the implications are not there.
