How did he see the workings of human conscience in an environment that has never existed the same way one can see an apple falling off a tree?

Are you really that deluded to think these are at all comparable?
That's not the point LadyShea. His was an observation just like apples falling from trees, and as such, it was a description of what he saw. There were absolutely no presuppositions. He used the word "presupposition" in his own book. I think he knew what the word meant.
So what happens if I observe something different?
