What you are saying is before 500 years of science great nations were living without “inbuilt mechanism of self-correction.” Does not it sound weird?
Secondly, there is no precise empirical evidence neither any jackpot theory in your generalised response.
On the other hand, conscience is a common subjective experience in all humans except if someone has not corrupted it utterly. Like common human emotions and feelings, it can easily be verified through psychological methods and therefore, it is fit for an empirical evidence.
Science is not capable to explain subjective experiences therefore it can neither give a crackpot theory nor a jackpot theory for “inbuilt mechanism of self-correction.” This mechanism can only be explained either by religion or by philosophy.
