Both sides can make convincing arguments regarding morality as a social construct. In this case neither person is able to make a very good argument because of the circumstances (random guy vs. prepared "sermon"). I didn't watch the second posted video as I can't be bother to listen to an hour of what I've likely heard a million times before.
From an evolutionary stand point you could probably justify every moral "code of conduct" as a factor promoting natural selection. From their point of view morals are socially constructed over time as a way to propagate the human race. On the other hand I've heard many good arguments from theologists reasoning that there is a higher moral code that leads evolution rather than stemming from it.
