If evolution is true, how do we tell right from wrong?
Well, since evolution IS true, and we seem to be able to tell right from wrong, I don't think your question is logical.

So what is right and what is wrong? Is Osama Bin Laden right or wrong, considering he has supporters in the muslim world?
We as a society say what's right or wrong. Osama's wrong in our eyes, he's right in the eyes of his followers.

How would you interpret "Thou shalt not kill"?.
As one of the ten commandments? And a rather good one, however, the problem is we do not live in a black and white world, I can think of at least one situation in which it is acceptable to kill a man (or woman). Namely, when he/she is threatening to destroy the entire world and the only way to stop him/her is to kill him/her. I find that an acceptable kill, don't like the fact it has to be done, but acceptable.
