Argument from Conscience

What reason do you have to believe that the conscience is the product of one of these things rather than an adaptation in its own right? Regardless, your list of things it is a product of leaves out this possibility. Since this is a proof by elimination (a form of reductio ad absurdum), leaving out options is fatal to the conclusion. Ergo, you can't conclude there is a god from this.

(ETA: Plus you equivocate from 'instinctual nature' in #2, to 'instinct' in #3, to just plain 'nature' in #6 [the conclusion]. That's fatal as well.)
