Stefan Pernar said: "I argue that morality can be universally defined."
As Eliezer points out, evolution is blind, and so 'fitness' can have as a side-effect what we would intuitively consider unimaginable moral horrors (much worse than parasitic wasps and cats playing with their food). I think if you want to define 'the Good' in the way you do, you need to either explain how such horrors are to be avoided, or educate the common intuition.
