Evolution versus Speciation

One problem with many of the anti-evolution arguments is they don't think natural selection will produce new species. Dogs are given as a counter example, but they are technically compatible enough to be considered one species (depending on how restrictive you are with that definition.) I don't think that is a good counter example either, but I can't just leave it at that...

Freedom is Everything

It's a simple statement, but easy enough. Freedom is good.
I found this out when I was looking for an explanation for how Atheists can understand when something is good or when it is evil. They often rely on natural selection determinism, and say something like 'Because in general it promotes survival to do these things which are good, but (or even if) there is no absolute good.' I know that because I have said it before.
But it wasn't a complete enough explanation for me. Certainly the violent, moody, prejudicial gods of the most popular religions weren't even effective at Good. And the vague relativistic gods of the least popular religions were less concrete than the 'for survival' explanation; I can feel more specificity in my own mind than any of their explanations, and the simple survival explanation didn't cover apparently altruistic behavior in otherwise uncaring animals.
