I understand your position, but I disagree. You seem to be basing your conclusion on the assumption that good and evil are not absolute, and to a great degree they are. All cultures define good and evil in more or less the same terms (that which is deliberately harmful vs. that which is deliberately helpful).
As a Christian, I believe that this is because God gave man a moral sense. But without regard to religious belief, a common sense of what is right and what is wrong developed for some reason.
For evidence of both, you need look no further than the outpouring of help from around the world for the survivors of Katrina, and, as Johnny Pyro pointed out, CNN.
