Kindness and care for family members, especially little children, are universal traits. Compassion for the elderly, poor, and weak is a quality valued by cultures around the world. Instead of "might makes right," our consciences teach us that might should choose to do right. This reflects our God-given command to care for each other.
A naturalistic model of origins would not predict socially-established actions like care and kindness, actions that every culture recognizes as "good." Selfish and cruel use of force—"survival of the fittest"—is routinely condemned, not praised.
