It is interesting and something worth pondering. Would you expand on it?
To regard = to look upon with the mind.
To know = to perceive, recognize, to reveal (not an exhaustive list) .
IMO, I think to know would be discernment, while regard would be to think upon something.
God does know.....knowing good and evil = God does recognize.....recognizing good and evil
But then again, we do recognize good or evil by what we do see in our mind (thought).
I will wait on your input.

Re: Good Conscience
We are to become Christ-like, to know good and evil.
This is why these verses exist:
Gen 1:26 KJV - And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Notice it says make, not create. The plan was to make man to see as He does. This is what the Holy Spirit is here to teach us.
Gen 3:22 KJV - And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
Gen 3:22 KJV - And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
Gen 5:1 KJV - This [is] the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;

If we take as our example the events of WW2 and the gas chambers and other terrible acts, I doubt if the perpetrator of those terrible crimes against humanity knew the difference between good and evil.
One would need to be on a higher level to be able to see the evil, but that particular person had sunk so low that what he did was perfectly acceptable in his eyes. How low can you get? Not much I don't think.
