I used to think that we must be but now I am not really sure.
Or could our inborn knowledge of the sanctity of life be a part of our evolution?

Some scientist believe we have a store of ancient memory in our brains. To date, this has not been proved but it is essentially possible.
I think its more likely we "learn" a certain way of seeing things and thinking from our environment. cal

Most of us (not sociopaths) develop empathy. It's not there at the moment of birth, but it develops long before we have the physical capacity for murder. "Sanctity of life" is too complex a concept for biological evolution; that's cultural evolution. Still, empathy and other traits that help us form societies that have aided our survival.

We are born with 'conscience' the inborn ability to know that certain behaviors or things are wrong or dangerous. But it is up to the parents to teach their children what god approves of and what he disapproves of. Deuteronomy 6:7 and you must inculcate them in your son and speak of them when you sit in your house and when you walk on the road and when you lie down and when you get up. The sanctitiy of life would be part of our continuing 'adaptation' not evolution, which is a theory created by man and is not proven, we are not changing into another creation, we are adapting to our circumstances.

No, if a child was brought up in a twisted serial killer family, they would most likely view murder as what they do. I am very interested in the topic though, I really think there are a lot more intangibles that we are born with than many people realize. I was brought up in an abusive drug addict household, but I always felt different from my entire family, I would never do that to my body, and I would die before I put my future kids through any abuse. I never had any role models, so I don't know, but ultimately it is job of a good parent to guide and support their children.

I think so.
I think our morals are partially inborn. I could argue that some of it may be parenting, like 'say no to drugs'. But, other stuff is somehow already there; like I know that I will never touch alcohol in my life. Though I have been conditioned to never go near drugs, the alcohol aversion has always been there.
Maybe our morals are carried over from experiances in past lives?
On a more scientific note, maybe people with an aversion to damaging substances are the ones who survive and those who are reckless more often die. The ones with an aversion either pass this on to their children or teach it to their children. Interesting thought/question.

That goes into the whole nature vs. nurture. The only way to really be sure is to place a group of people that have never come into contact with the outside world and truly isolate them from birth. That way there is no outside influence. This would also answer the question of would they also be able to form a form of government and religion or vice versa. Good question though.

The inborn knowledge in this case does not exist. Empathy is something that is developed through experience.
Look at a society of cannibals- they murder for food.

Actually, if you really think about it we don't know murder is wrong but we have natural feelings and if your above someone with a knife who you are going to stab to death what are your thoughts on how that person will feel? What if he has a family. And in some cases this is a innocent person, what has he or she ever done to you. Our emotion is what gets the most of us but, we can come overcome it to be known as a "cold blooded killer".

" 'You will not surely die,' the serpent said to the woman. 'For GOD knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like GOD, knowing good and evil.' " Genesis 3:4&5.
The Bible also tells us: "And the LORD GOD said, 'The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live for ever.' So the LORD GOD banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken." Genesis 3:22&23.
There you are; we all know good and evil like GOD. Moreover, we have the freewill to consider, the decide and then choose what we want. It is most unfortunate that Christians, in spite of all their noise, do not believe in the Bible.
