DOES HUMAN NATURE CHANGE?
Sir,-I listened-in to Dr. Sutherland’s talk from 3YA on July 21. He was very definite that human nature does change. Taking the Bible as a guide to man’s nature of 5000 years ago, I notice we still have with us about the same percentage of the greedy, the thieving, the adulterous, the vicious, the brave, the cowardly, the lying, and the honest folk. I trust Dr. Sutherland will explain this at a later date. He also mentions that man’s goodness is constant, but is not goodness an inverted maternal or paternal instinct, and is this just part of human nature?
