I think it's 100% life experiences; nobody is born evil. Even sociopaths and psychopaths are influenced by their environment. If their personalities were handled correctly growing up, they wouldn't end up doing the things they do.
Unfortunately, we don't know how to handle (or don't want to handle) things that are difficult to see (or accept), so stuff happens.
Funny that you ask me that, but yet you haven't proven that it is just impossible to be evil from birth. Psychopaths, for example. Most of them are just born like that.
I literally addressed psychopaths in my initial post. Lacking emotions and sympathy doesn't automatically mean you're evil. Their brains can still understand logic, so they can still potentially be regular people. It's just more complicated to deal with, and most people don't want to believe that their kid is a psycho.
There are actual, logical reasons not to hurt people besides empathy and illegality, for instance, so in the absence of those things, it's not a given that you're going to go straight to serial murder...
...at least I hope you're not. Otherwise we have worse problems than thinking people are "born evil". What we would instead have is a tons of evil people that are one cancer-diagnosis away from killing everybody.
Are some people born evil?

No it isn't. Upbringing and opportunity are huge.

Not always. You're saying that nobody is born evil and it's always the environment, which is loaded.

And how is that loaded? Can you prove that someone was evil from birth?
