Thanks for the elaboration. I guess that completes the explanation, from a particular vantage point. I am not persuaded, but you probably are. Perhaps we can agree to disagree.

I'm not expecting you to accept that the purely biological path is how we humans came to have a moral sense. I was more just (tacitly) pointing out that the end picture, what the moral sense looks like and how it operates, isn't much different on the biological versus divine origin account. Of course more explicitly my point was that, therefore, the religious rhetoric that evolution "should" have us all behaving like ruthless monsters is silly and stupid.

(I don't worry about the war turning into "Vietnam" in Iraq; I worry about it doing so in Congress.)
