It is not a classification across the board, gruff.
Let's wash this down a bit more and let's put aside the word "evil"
for now.
Child A is born with talent, Child B is born with intellect, Child C
is born with negative personality traits.
Child A does not exist the womb and start playing a piano, Child B
does not exist the womb reciting mathematical equations, Child C does
not exist the womb and start torturing animals.
Child A at age 6 sits down at a piano and begins to play Mozart, Child
B at age 6 starts first year college, Child C at age 6 is in the
basement drooling over animal torture and numerous corpses.
Point being that knowledge can be innate, whether positive or
negative. True? (if Yes read on, if No stop now)
We can label that knowledge however we want and according to our
beliefs or social mores. Child A might be considered, by some, to be
weird, strange, talented, a virtuoso, child B considered a nerd, a
geek or a wiz, child C considered a freak, a devil, curious, insane or
"evil".
Much of what we are IS learned knowledge and much IS innate. How we
label those traits is a matter of belief.
One might say of child C that he is fine and that he is going to be a
brilliant forensic scientist one day, while another might view the
child as sick with a preoccupation with morbidity. This is where I
clarified earlier that it is Not my belief that a person is evil
because of morbid interests or cultism, but my whole idea is that
"evil", if that is what you want to call it, can be innate in some
people.
If a person has inherited traits then those traits are innate.
Darwin's concepts of biology and evolution could be the foundation
upon which innateness rests, much of Nazi idealism is based on it and
precedes eugenics.
Now, I also believe that there are cosmic forces that exist which can
influence our lives beyond the physical realm and I think this is
where the problem for some arises. We can look at the butterfly
effect and consider that little Tim Kretschmer killed that pregnant
woman because the baby she was carrying was going to become a
monstrous killer of millions of people. Either way there seems to be
more going on in the universe than what we perceive here on our little
planet.
If you don't believe in positive/negative, good/bad, and other cosmic
forces and need scientific proof of such then the conversation is
moot.
There is no proof of the existence or non existence of the
aforementioned forces.
