Is conscience an evolution baesd or creation based?

[WHAMPOM]

It's because God is real and Santa Claus isn't.

You may just be easily influenced. Magicians perform their tricks by exploiting a blind spot found in the brains perception of reality. Your belief is another known blind spot.

The Bible teaches that God puts His law into man's heart. He also give man free will so man can choose to follow the law or not.

If god put his law into man's heart then that already isn't free will. Free will would be god just creating humans and letting them do their own thing from the start and would have no need for that. If god makes good things happen then that is not free will.

I'm gonna have to go with cultural...not necessarily creation-belief based nor evolution-based.

I don't think the magical sky fairies ingrained conscience into man...nor do I believe it's an evolved trait, but rather, the ability to discern right from wrong is the result of cultural pressures. In cultures that have strong beliefs about what's right and what's wrong, conscience and guilt go hand-in-hand...Look at all the stories, movies, and jokes about "I survived a Jewish mother," or I survived a Catholic mother." Both religions are heavy on the guilt...which requires strong beliefs in conscience...

Many non-religious cultures, such as the American Indian tribes, had far less pressure about right and wrong...with little to no guilt passed down for right and wrong. If you did wrong, you may have been punished for it, but they didn't "lay a bunch of guilt trips" on you over it.

It's a learned behavior...it's pounded into us from the time we're children...by our parents, at school, at church (if you swing that way) and by society in general.
