Also the fact that humans have such things show that they cannot be simple efficiencies gained through evolution, but rather a human and only human gift given by God.
I don't see that it shows any such thing. It could be a human and only human gift given by the Flying Spaghetti Monster, or it more likely could be a set of traits currently only known to reach that particular level in humans, but not yet fully explained by science.
Nearly every week lately you can find a scientific paper where brain scans of various sorts have localized some way of thinking - like envy - to some little fold of the brain. And the same little fold is involved in chimps or capuchin monkeys in similar situations. Even a monkey brain is possibly far too complex, with too many potential electric/neuronal circuits, to be reducible to a fully understood mechanism. But that does not mean that their brains or our brains aren't mechanisms.
