The only way a conscience or evidence of a conscience can be measured is to ask people questions regarding different moral dilemmas and see if they answer the same way.
I posted a study on here before of a evolutionary biologist who did exactly this. His findings were that people for the most part did answer certain moral dilemmas using the same logic.

Richard Dawkins also accepts that people have a sense of what is right and wrong and that it is universal, he attributes this to the social and cultural effects of evolution rather than being instilled in us by a creator.
