Isn't the logical conclusion this ---

No.. that is the kindergarten level of understanding of evolution.. if you believe in Theistic evolution like I do, you understand that God did create that has both a spiritual aspect and a physical aspect, the physical side works under the laws of nature and results only in our physical development, but the spiritual side, what sets man apart from animals, transcends that. Even many atheists who believe in evolution don't see this as we are just prone to do what is nature compels them to, instead, they do see a moral code in systems and acts that work best for the survival of individuals and societies.. the 'moral codes' they see as almost laws of nature the way we see them as spiritual laws.

You believe in Intelligent Design then. If God exists, then He is by definition the intelligent cause of everything, hence, the intelligent designer.

Do you also believe that man is randomly mutated? (emphasis on the word -- RANDOM).

I am not following this logic. If there is no supreme being who tells us that certain things like what this guy did in the museum are RIGHT or WRONG ( i.e. the atheistic belief is objectively true), I don't see how an objective "moral code" exists. Unless you believe that MORALITY is also part of evolution.
