We're born this way

Came across yet another article of scientists inadvertently proving what's in the Bible lol

If you're not a big fan of articles, here's the gist of it:

“Very good methodological advances have meant that a wide range of genetic work is being done,” said John H. Laub, the director of the justice institute, who won the Stockholm Prize in Criminology last week. He and others take pains to emphasize, however, that genes are ruled by the environment, which can either mute or aggravate violent impulses. Many people with the same genetic tendency for aggressiveness will never throw a punch, while others without it could be career criminals.

We're born with sin... some have a more challenging inheritance than others. But we all have the capacity to overcome it-

But a predisposition is not destiny. “Knowing something is inherited does not IN ANY WAY tell us anything about whether changing the environment will improve it,” Ms. Moffitt wrote in an e-mail. “For example, self-control is a lot like height, it varies widely in the human population, and it is highly heritable, but if an effective intervention such as better nutrition is applied to the whole population, then everyone gets taller than the last generation.”

This isn't groundbreaking stuff, even from a scientific perspective. However, it grabbed my attention.

Maybe I'm just reading into this because I want to, but I keep seeing articles that suggest we are born sinful. Also, we ALL know right from wrong, even the unsaved. Also, families styled after the Biblical blueprint produce children that are more likely to be happy, healthy and successful. Also, prayer has power and those who pray regularly are happier and healthier. So on and so forth. There are lots of articles about these things.

If you've seen articles like these, where science is supporting what's in the Bible, please post it here! I'm not talking about evolution vs. creationism or whatever. I'm talking more about the scientific support for what the Bible says in regards to sociology and physiology and all that... how we are as humans and how we should be living as Christians.

I'll probably post more of these later. They're all over the place.

You don't have to teach a child to lie, but they'll sure figure it out, with or without external aid.
