They will make up some dumb a-ss answer for this to. for all of you egg heads,when God created,yes created the earth, and Adam And Eve lived without eating meat until later own after sin entered the world.eating meat gives us conscience.I am a lot dumber after reading that lame answer/I think i will go eat a pound of barbecue and blow my brains out.Maybe then they will evolve into a new brain.

Who is Haegle? Do you mean the german philosopher Georg Friedrich Wilhelm Hegel?
Philosophy means "Love in regard to the sagacity". So it makes no sense to deceive anybody especially not for a philosopher.
He might have been in error (about what?) but that could happen to anybody.
Conscience means the ability, to dispose of mental states like thoughts,
emotions, perceptions or memories (read in Wikipedia).
In the evolution came single-celled lifeforms before those animals
which were the pre-stage before the early man and the man.
They had already the ability to perceive in a very primitive way their surroundings and to react on it (chemical and physical ways of perception as we can see it on single-celled lifeforms which live today).
That perception became more and more complicated as the lifeforms developed to higher forms with sense organs.
That development took place because of the combination of the two DNA strings of the two parent-animals which caused that the created descendants were not the exact reproduction of their creators,
so some of the descendants had better chances to survive long than others (superior or inferior to their creators).
The conscience was necessary to survive - so it had to be developed and to be improved by the lifeforms because of their struggle against each other about resources.

Simply put -- cooperation and mutualism were beneficial to the survival of the various species that developed some aspects of it. Even a mother alligator will defend the nest, and some will even defend the young for quite some time.
Altruism. Plain and simple. Protecting the Other even when the Self is endangered increases survivability to reproductive age.
Empathy is the other half of evolutionary conscience. The ability to recognize the pain of another. A mother who responds to her offspring's whimpers is more likely to get them to reproductive age than a mother who ignores those whimpers. For her to do so, however, she must in some way recognize that the Other is feeling a pain she her Self is not... and do something to stop the pain, or comfort the one suffering.
Seems a fairly simple evolutionary progression to me.

Easy...
How long would you live on your own naked in the jungle?
How long do you last when part of a team that looks out for each other?
How much more successful of a group of humans that does not hurt each other?
Group conscience did better then group no conscience, as they were fighting amongst themselves so no group unity strength.
Humans are a herd animal... a complex one that each has a job of some kind... morals are just what enables stability in said herd

Conscience as such does not evolve biologically, though the mental capacity necessary for conscience to operate certainly did evolve.

Our conscience evolved the same way it evolved for other complex mammals who have moral codes. Dog packs will sacrifice for the group. Female elephants will adopt orphans at great personal costs to themselves.
In short, because the group survived better when members behaved morally. (Groups that prize random killings will soon die out.)
If you're seriously interested in the topic, Dawkins discusses this topic at great length in his current book, the God Delusion.

the human conscience is simply a part of the human brain. The human brain evolved because man became a meat eater. Eating meat is what helped us evolve big brains.

Stop asking such HARD QUESTIONS! Thats really really MEAN!
seriously...
Go to a library. Sign up for your first library card. Check out a book or two on evolution...maybe three. Read these books. Come back to Yahoo Answers and help us Atheists answer insane questions from people who believe in Intelligent Design.

~~~skylolo,,,Only to your first Q,,,Also as a Reincarnationist one realizes that via Multiple Incarnations, ie; Lifetimes, are required for the Evolution of Conciousnes, and thus to become An Enlightened Being.,,,,,,

your conscience is just a voice you hear in your head probably caused by your mind and stuff that has happened to you before it has nothing to do with spirtiual stuff or religous stuff it's just thinking and your mind at work
