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.

You're missing the point. Yes, psychopathy doesn't automatically mean you're going to be "evil". But a lot of psychopaths are, and the psychopaths that are "evil" were just born that way. So my example is valid.
Are some people born evil?

No it isn't. If you admit that psychopathy =/= evil, then how can you say they were born evil just because they were born with the disorder?
