If God existed, you would be right. Since he does not, your argument has no value.

Ya'all enjoy yourselves, hear. Why would anyone want to spend eternity with the judgmental, unforgiving, God you worship who creates an imperfect being when, as he is omnipotent and omniscient, could have created a perfect being who would not need to fall and than calls it love to condemn the imperfection that is the result of his imperfect creation to eternal damnation. Ya all have fun now, hear.

I would prefer a position midway between nurture and nature, but, if I must choose, I will take the position which gives the greatest power of choice to the individual. I once read the results of an experiment - many years ago, so I do not recall the source. The question being investigated was when choices are made and whether something called the self makes decisions. People were asked to, when a signal appeared, to either choose yes or no by touching the appropriate button. The people were thoroughly wired so any electrical impulse implying decision would be noticed.There was no right choice. What was noted was that a fraction of a second before the decision was made there was electrical activity, then another fraction further activity appeared in the area of the brain which implied awareness. Apparently a decision was made, then the individual became aware of that decision, and then yet a bit later the action of indicating the choice occurred. So, the evidence seemed to indicate that choice occurred prior to awareness and that, therefore, nature controlled action. However, a fascinating variable could happen. Sometimes, after the activity that indicated choice and the awareness of choice occurred, another flash of activity appeared and the individual reversed his initial choice and indicated the opposite choice. So, the ability to choose exists as the ability to negate choices that have been conditioned or established by the genetic make-up of the brain.

This fascinates me because it opens the possibility of free will regardless of whether one is behaviorally conditioned or controlled by his or her nature.
