Running Head: NATURE VS. NURTURE-THE GREAT DEBATE 1 Nature vs. Nurture: The Great Debate Jeffery Gray, RN Western Governors University September 2014 NATURE VS. NURTURE: THE GREATE DEBATE 2 Abstract Describe the basic elements of the nature-nurture controversy. There are two different rationales for the origin, cause, or source of human behavior. Researchers and Scientists alike suggest that behavior is either the result of nature or nurture. Nature suggests that human behavior is the result of a genetic disposition, in other words, an individual’s behavior exists at birth, it is innate, they are born with the behavior inside of them. However, nurture suggests that an individual’s behavior is learned, it is the result or by-product of the environment in which the individual was reared or existed.
Analyse Hick’s vale of soul making theodicy. (30 marks) John Hick’s vale of soul making theodicy is a modern form of the Irenaean theodicy. This theodicy argues that both natural and moral evil are important, so they have a good purpose and therefore an all loving God is justified in allowing evil. Hick claimed that God had made humans morally imperfect to help them complete the process of creation themselves.

Baptism is the sacrament in which, by water and the word of God, a person is cleansed of all sin and reborn and sanctified in Christ to everlasting life (CatholicCulture.org). Salvation, eternal life after death, the purification of all sins, and the significance of the Holy Trinity are all Christian beliefs that are demonstrated throughout the sacrament of Baptism. Christians believe that baptism is the first step one must take in order to achieve salvation although many fundamental Christian denominations believe baptism is all that is necessary to achieve it. Catholics believe that baptism is the first hurdle that one takes in order to attain salvation although they accept the teaching of Romans 10:12 which states that one does not need to be baptised to receive salvation they just have to believe in Christ Jesus: "For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile - the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him”. They particularly stress that salvation is accomplished through faith in the Trinity, action and Baptism.
From the first book of the Bible, God commands man and woman to “be fruitful and multiply.” (Gen 1:28) Pope Pius XI’s encyclical, the Casti Connubii, states, “The primary end of marriage is the procreation and the education of children.” Also implied in this command is the restriction of the goods of marriage—the conjugal act and procreation—to the married state. If the spouses firstly agree to raise the children Catholic then no longer agree a civil divorce may be filed. The Pope Pius XI encyclical, St. Augustine expresses the idea that marriage is to produce offspring; therefore developing the benefits of the sacrament. Annulment is applicable if an abortion is suggested by one of the spouses. If this situation occurs during the marriage, it shows that the couples are unwilling to procreate.
