Now that to me is a fairly arrogant statement.

How do you know what goes on in other’s heads. Don’t you think the thing you reject for yourself may be evident someone else?
It's not so much that I know what is going on in your head.

It's that I know gods don't exist.

It is thus quite easy to determine that if there is a voice in your head (or anyone else's) it
isn't the voice of a god.

In much the same way that I know it isn't the voice of Voldemort or the Hogfather.

If you think it's arrogant of me to declare that fictional beings are not whispering things into
peoples heads then we are no longer using the word arrogant to mean the same thing.

Don’t you think the thing you reject for yourself may be evident someone else?

After coming up with 3 possible different interpretations of this grammatical mess I gave up.
If you want me to answer this question you need to type it coherently.

My follow-up question to the OP is how can one prove or disprove that there is a conscience at all that we use, more specifically science. Can it detect a conversation that we may be having with ourselves, thinking through a difficult decision, trying to decide on a morality issue? God whispering in our heads giving advice? Can this be done and to what end?
I don't know what you mean by detect.

We can certainly see detect people thinking, and by looking at which parts of the brain are
working hardest make some determinations about what kind of thinking they are doing.

We can't however currently listen to a persons internal decision making process.

Might be able to some time in the future, but it's currently beyond our technological capabilities.

You are probably too ignorant to know the difference. 😏
