I absolutely, 100% agree. What makes you think I believe in that bogus dichotomy? My postulating evolution as a basis for understanding ethics should've been enough to tell you where I stand on that.

Seems to me you're the one trying to get above or beyond nature in this discussion, by arguing against the evolutionary basis for decent behavior. Check your premises.
