1 John 1: Against self-justifying doctrine

[Consecrated Life]

wondering if the conscience is formed by our environment. That would mean if there was no law there would be no conscience that would convict one.

Our consciousness to sin we are born with ,
That is why God says in the judgement day He will righteously be able to judge all people accordingly .
No law was given at the time yet both Adam & Eve knew to hide from God because of their sin.
Likewise even there no law existed at the time Cain knew both to hide the body of his murdered brother and deny any involvement in his murder :
Gen 4:9
And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?

It is not.
Our conscience is given by God.

But that does not mean there is no sin, just means people are not rewarded for what they don't know. But if they have no conscience of sin is it sin?

It is not sin if it can't be punished by God.

no
Now if a person is born in sin and shaped in iniquity they have a shaped conscience due to the the enviroment.

That would be nobody.
No one is "born in sin".
That was just a slur.

They reside in death. Yet do they know they are apart from God?

I think so, as knowledge of His presence is inescapable.

Does eating off the tree of the knowledge of good and evil mean anything for the rest of the world or only for Adam.

It changed everybody.
We now all have a conscience of good and evil.

Yet again God is seen in His creation that man are without excuse

OK
