BTW. I don't murder because my God-given conscience restrains me and because God tells me not to.
It would also allow the murderer to spend the rest of his life in jail and/or be killed himself. A person who murders innocents would have a hard time finding a mate to propagate his genes. In early societies, it would result in either being killed or cast out of the society you live in, which would have been a death sentence. You have a fundamental misunderstanding of what evolution is.
I'll say it again: Evolution does not work on the level of individuals. It works on the order of populations.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
