But it exists in some humans . . ?
So does memory loss, what does that prove?
I have just now become aware that i "triple-posted" . . . my sincere apology.
***********************************************
I do not subscribe to any form of elitism--which is not to say that i fail to recognize differences of talents or capacities which arise from nuture or nature. Empathy is a capacity which must be acquired, in my never humble opinion--i see no evidence of empathic responses in small children, who behave as though they are the center of the universe, which is nothing more than one would expect.
People become empathic only if they possess and develop the ability to estimate the feelings engendered in someone else by that person's experience of the world. Not everyone can be considered likely to develop that ability, fewer still to draw any lessons from, and fewest of all to act upon what they've learned.
I suspect that the genuinely empathic, those who have a genuine, internally resident conscience, are relatively few, whether numbered among the religious or not. I consider most people who profess religious devotion to be mealy-mouthed hypocrits--but, then, i'm sure you already devined that . . .

Did Adam and Eve have a conscience? If so why did it not prevent them from eating the fruit?
Yes they had an conscience.God awake them about forbidden tree. So all Prophets act as order of God. Prophet hasn't got any sin. Also not to do sin is their most important speciliates. But Adam forgotten ( Qur'an Taha chapter 15) that God said and did this mistake. So God lowered them to the world.....
At first Eve ate fruit than said to Adam, there is no harm eating fruit and Adam ate too. But his body was opened and he shamed so much and run all over and found a fig leaf and used it as a covering.
yes put them to the world but different places..
But the Genesis account says they were created on earth to live forever on earth. If they had not sinned, they would still be here and we would not have war and crime and sickness and death.
Something's fishy here, kev
No.. It is so clear that they ve created in heaven. But Adam's material was brought from earth by the angel of death. Adam was created than Eve was created from his scapula bone when Adam was sleeping...
One of his son killed each other. So crime has started in the earth.
Sorry, kev. You've got to do better than that. You will have to show the error in the book of Genesis.
Example:
No sentient creature suffered death until Adam's sin
I talk about Qur'an and sayings of Our Prophet. It is not my aim to find error in the book of Genesis.
These matters are commentaries in all the time of human being.. We only learn them from Prophets or books.

But you contradict the book of Genesis. How do you accomplish that without explaining its 'error'?
I ve no knowledge about what other books talk about this matter. But Qur'an clearly says that Adam was in Paradise up to this mistake.
And you have concluded that paradise must not be upon earth?
The term 'Garden of Eden' when transliterated from the Hebrew means 'paradise of pleasure'.
It was on earth.

It was on earth.
I know Qur'an is orginal.. Also I touched with my hand to first Qur'an Which was written by Hz.Osman(R.A) who is 3. Caliph of Islam. So.. Qur'an contains all other orginal books. Confliction with other orginal books is impossible. But some Jewish people may be commented Genesis words about this matter as a earth. Qur'an says different place from earth which is called paradise.
Sorry you guys but this seems to me that you are looking in the rule books for different types of "football" in an attempt to find a definition of "fair play"(=conscience).
