Why are humans cursed with right from wrong?. Is there a scientific answer?. I don,t think so. We are animals lilke dogs cats and so -on.Why have we this preprensity to do things which are contrary to natural?. I mean the animals I have mentioned (For Example) Dont go about getting Involved In breaking commandments and things. Please dont tell me that (Its A smaller Brain thing)?. because If It Is?, then we, should no better, having bigger ones?.
I don,t see cows, for example (One of many examples),mugging each other for drugs, ect?. Have your wee laugh If you like, however, try giving me a sensible, viable, answer at the same time.
yours sincerely

It's called a conscience.
And yes, it is God-given.
Romans 2:14,15 - For whenever people of the nations that do not have law do by nature the things of the law, these people, although not having law, are a law to themselves. 15 They are the very ones who demonstrate the matter of the law to be written in their hearts, while their conscience is bearing witness with them and, between their own thoughts, they are being accused or even excused.
I hope that helps. Enjoy your evening.

Right or wrong is not a curse, it is a choice, which can be used for either good or evil. We were given souls, whereas animals were not, that's why we have the power to choose to do evil things, or good things, like take care of the animals.

In the beginning of Adam and Eve's life God told them not to eat of the fruit of knowledge of good and evil.This is where it stems from and if you will have ears to hear to be able to understand you could see how when they did eat that their eyes were opened and they saw they were naked.They weren't to have knowledge of right and wrong,good or bad or anything near to them,just be obedient and enjoy the blessings that God had given them.
Now I am not very smart in this world but it would seem to me that is a better way than what we have now,ha,I love the freedom of nakedness,and this isn't intended in a bad way.lol

i don't think their is a right or a wrong, just as the Taoists say the appropriate and inappropriate are both appropriate, but we have placed these rules on ourselves animals may of done the same we don't know for certain if they have or haven't.
i think as a social animal we have developed certain rules and a hierarchy so we can live in relative harmony as other animals who live in groups (wolves, other apes)

Right and wrong form the basis of all morality.
It is imparted to mankind at birth, by God, as a result of the Garden of Eden incident.
We now all have the knowledge of good and evil.

We evolved from, and thus became, social animals with a genetic predisposition toward behavior that benefits the group as a whole.
