Would Darwin have something to say?
thought experiment:
place some groups of people in similar environments, the groups would have varying 'moral codes' instilled and at varying levels of intensity.
Lather
rinse
repeat
come back in 250 years and see how well the different groups fared, and also evaluate how their instilled codes 'evolved' over time.
I'd suggest scoring would be based on how the groups grew and prospered. And see if the codes that 'evolved' did so to be more congruent with each other at similar 'success' ratings.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
