No, neither good or bad, i'm a firm believer in the "blank slate" theory that we're all born neutral, and we grow and mature in accordance to how we're raised, and depending on who we deal with in our lives and how they affect us. The way a person is, good or bad, is simply an effect of their personality, their way of being, their emotions. Now with this in mind, how can a person be born good or bad when they have no personality, when their main emotions are those instincts that everyone's born with, that every animal's born with to survive on its own. As we grow we build on those instincts, and begin to construct a personality that we later show (to others) as our inner person, as the real self other than what we can see in the outside skin. So no, we ARE what we were taught, we ARE who we were raised to be, we think like we were raised to think.

Obviously, humans are born good, how? dude ask yourself, when you were a kid did u ever strategise how to snatch away a toy from the other kid, havnt you ever heard that a small child is as innocent as God.
To explain you, with an example from our time, a small child is like an empty writeable CD, when its new its neutral, its upto us what we teach him, it gets burned on CD, hence its the kind of enviroment the child is born determines his future.

in the present day, no person particularly is conscious what all expertise is stored interior the DNA. i've got self belief some expertise is handed on previous instincts interior the DNA. I even theorize that expertise could be transferred from mom to new child for the period of being pregnant. The training to create a human are interior the DNA, what different training are there? the place are "instincts" contained at? in case you have self belief interior the Christian God, then you definately be responsive to of the order to "be fruitful and multiply". would desire to this be written into the DNA of people? would desire to there be extra training there that require a particular set of situations to take place previously they are enacted? Or are mom and new child like 2 computers networked at the same time, passing counsel back and forth. Is the mum "writing the code" for the youngster and educating it? if so, what different training are being handed? sparkling slates, people are no longer. even while separated from father and mom at delivery, toddlers nevertheless maintain features of their father and mom while reaching adulthood. How it is obtainable remains below question. Even a new child blind from delivery is conscious a thank you to grin. the place did they learn how to grin in the event that they in no way observed it?

I beleive all are born sinful, because of the dissobedience of Adam and Eve in the Begining. Therefore all human beings were cursed and live under the curse still unless they confess their sins and start a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

No, children are naturally selfish, and if you have ever watched a couple two or three year olds, you will know this, Human beings have to be taught to share, to obey, to not hit, to not lie about hitting, and all the other things that appear on the front pages when they grow up.

Humans are born innocent, and looking for the best ways to adapt themselves to their environment.

Any living creature is intrinsecally good. At least for itself.

I believe that good is really the state of mind each of us associate with. Because some of us have different opinions of what is good, others may view those individuals with a different viewpoint as evil.

As a child, I didn't have to be taught to lie or cheat. It was natural to me. I had to be trained to be good. Not only did I have to be taught how to act, I had to be taught there are consequences for evil deeds and even evil thoughts. Given this fact, my answer is people are born evil and have to be raised to be good.

i dun think so. It's because some children do bad things without anyone teaching them to do so. They try to get what they want by doing something adults have to compromise. For example, they cry when they want their parents buy them a toy car or an ice cream,etc. You don't even have to teach them how to shout at other people because they have ability to learn new stuff from people around them.
