Nurture, or Nature...hmmm....
Down on the farm, we call it temperament.
I learned that I had the curse when I was nineteen. Up to that point in time, I was as morally innocent as a hungry tiger. After that, I was cursed with eyes to see the difference. There are a few people that lack this knowledge, we call them sociopaths. That is the bitter irony of it all, a predator is innocent when it kills, a man is guilty for even thinking about it. It all depends on how he sees. If you don't feel a little twinge, when you put a worm on a fish hook, you're innocent. If you do, you're human. Thank the Lord, and eat the fish....

The life is in the blood. the sins of past generations will visit upon the children. We are born into a state of mind that is off target and it takes our free will to want to return to fellowship with the Father. Jesus was sent here to create the door back to God. All that is really happening is that we are given the way to get back into proper order, the way man was originally created to be. It must be by choice, and by following the lead of Jesus. He has the plan all we have to do is learn the way from His Holy Spirit teaching us. It is so simple that it has created horrors of religions, all with a plan of sorts to get back to God. There is only one way and it is through truth. Jesus says, "I am the way, the truth and the life, and NOBODY comes to the father any other way". I am paraphrasing, please excuse. but the point is made. It ain't about Jesus being on some type of ego trip, it is about the mind He had when He was saying that. You must come through the mind of Christ.

I would imagine that if there is such a thing as the knowledge of good and evil, then it wouldn't be passed on by something as simple as biology. Afterall, genetics has proven there's no transference of learned traits.

personally i think everything in life is 50% nurture 50% nature. some theorize that the remainder of the human genome that isnt mapped out is the mapping for the soul and whether or not the person is good. but some just get sh!t on their entire lives and cant help it.

Not really answering the question, but have you read the new book by Professor Lewis Wolpert
It's called:
"Ten impossible things before breakfast: The evolutionary origins of belief".
I haven't read it yet, but I suspect it will be quite a read.

Its learned. And sometimes strangely.
Give a 15 year old a shot of whiskey, they will swear they will never touch it again, how could anyone drink that stuff!

Its both........ most creatures are born knowing that anything that tries to kill it is doing something "evil".
Most of the rest is learned.
