Neither. Just as you cannot apportion blame you cannot apportion causality. The "nature nurture debate" is a non-sensical debate. In the strictest sense of "non-sensical" it means absolutely nothing.
Hold a match. The match has a physical structure - nature. How much flame do you have? None. None at all.
Now put the match down and start making "striking movements" (nurture) with your hand. How much flame do you have. None. None at all.
Put the two together and strike the physical match and then you will get a flame.
Without nurture a person has no destiny. None at all. Zip. zero.
Without nature a person has no destiny. None at all. Zip. Zero.
A persons destiny is shaped by a combination of their nature and their nurture. It makes no sense to attempt to quantify the contribution of each. Whatsoever.

Nature is nuturing and to nurture is natural, they cannot be seperated. As for destiny that is allocated by wisdom or the lack of it!

As usual, you are stating a false dichotomy. When will you people learn that it is nature VIA nurture. It is not a contest; they are not opposed. They work as natural selection meant them to work; seamlessly.

If you believe in destiny (which I don't) its your destiny to fulfill despite nature or nurture.

First of all what exactly is destiny? Secondly I believe nature and nuture are like salt and pepper we add both to our meals and each contribute their own flavor neither contributing more than the other.
