BTW, this doesn't mean scientists claim to know the t***h about the where and why human conscience developed, evolution only addresses the physical state of species, although there is suspicion in the cognitive sciences that physical being and conscience is related.

I disagree. The human conscience is evidence of the spiritual nature of man. You yourself are expressing conscience by stating there are no absolutes - and your justification for stating there are no absolutes is because of your innate disdain over the violence associated by those who insist they are right and others are wrong. So, the violence justified by religion, politics, and other opinions is wrong - that to you is an absolute.
Man is fallible. Jesus himself, according to Christians, was violently murdered for standing up against the established religions of his day. He angered the Pharisees by healing on the Sabbath, etc. - and they turned to violence to rid themselves of him.
You are right to say religions are violent - because religions are run by man and not by God. Science is also run by man, which is why it is often violent. The world today is run by a fallible man, instead of by the one who is t***h. But that does not mean t***h does not exist. It is obvious you believe there are lies - as evidenced by the way you state the Bible is a lie, religions are a lie, and science is at times "inaccurate". So if lies exist, does not t***h? I do not understand how you can state lies exist but t***h does not. If there is no t***h, then lies cannot exist either because there has to be a t***h to lie about.
By assuming the human mind is always in a state of " discovery", you are forgetting one basic fact - the mind is run by chemicals and electrical connections. If one of those natural synapses breaks, the mind becomes useless. My mother, for instance, is a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic. Yet she does not believe she is sick. She cannot see the errors of her mind, or her thoughts. The last medical paper I read on her stated: "patient cannot srperate feelings from fact." That is the nature of her mind. Something is broken. So her ability to analyze, judge, and react to the world is also broken- but she does not know it. Yet her conscience prevents her from engaging in illegal or unethical behavior - because her conscience is seperate from her mind.
Much of evolution is based on flawed science - because evolution conveniently forgets various math laws, such as compound interest. While there has been proof of microevolution - the idea that animals and other forms of life adapt to their environment by developing coping mechanisms to deal with the harsh cold or wh**ever environment they happen to be in - macroevolution has never been substantiated. Macroevolution states that everything formed from a "big bang" and no creator was involved. Recently, in fact, scientists have discovered that the universe may have never had a beginning - it always has been. So how did time evolve then? From the forming of the sun? All of these questions depends on human logic to be answered, and as evidenced by my mother, the human mind is usually wrong.
Conscience is the only thing that guides human life into t***h - regardless of how fallible the human mind is. Or how violent the human heart is. Conscience is spirit.
