The human mind is incredibly brilliant and stands alone in superiority among all creation. Its list of greatest achievements is incredible; along with its list of failures. And then there are the evil and horrible things it is capable of too. All the violence, war, crime, corruption, dishonesty, and immorality is typically blamed on something we call "human nature." Did God instill it within us at the time of creation? Were we born inherently evil?
