If Christians assert that morality can’t come from an atheist universe, then they must explain why God allows slavery in the Bible.

You really don't understand evolutionary theory at all do you? The struggle to survive does not mean that we wipe out other species. If you rely on buffalo for food you ensure that enough survive your hunting to ensure continuous breeding. If you don't then your own numbers will diminish. When you are in direct competition for resources then you either get a balance or a clear winner.
An animal may not bee powerful enough to bring down prey but it is when accompanied by it's pack. Sick and injured pack members are cared for because they may recover and continue to contribute to the pack and because individuals hope for the same treatment if they ever get sick or injured.
