It IS hard to explain morality (particularly self-giving morality, such as Christianity), consciousness, music, love, in all its forms, man's ability to solve mathematical theorems, and so forth, purely from evolutionary theory. But not impossible -- and therein lies the rub.  Who knows?  Tomorrow some brilliant evolutionary psychologist may publish a paper on the evolution of morality, consciousness, and all the rest.

Yes, it's possible. But it also may be impossible. Many aspects of Christian morality (love your enemies, save sex until marriage and be faithful to your spouse, turn the other cheek when assaulted, etc. etc. are exactly the things one would NOT expect under evolutionary theory - where those with traits that help the traits' bearers out- propagate those with other traits come to dominate. Or maybe affinity for Christian morality is brought about by random mutations and Christians will slowly slide into evolutionary oblivion. For reasons you can guess, I reject that notion and suspect that other things are in play.
