For Example, If a male lion killed 100 other lions in plain site, the female mate would not care. Which is the opposite of human life. No species besides human would label each other and notice the evil for killing or committing obscene actions or the good in each other for not. It is purely animal instinct.

This again is incorrect. Chimpazees have shown to develop extremely complex social structures that include laws and punishment for breaking those laws. This is not to say that ALL animals are this way but it does illustrate the ability to understand right from wrong without the word of God. Regardless, the concept of good and evil is all relative much like the concept of morality. There are still practicing cannibal tribes in obscure parts of South America. We view human sacrifice as evil and cannibalism as just as bad but in their society it is acceptable. You see what I mean?
