It is a common Christian lore that humans are inherently evil, which then leads to claims that we can only be protected from our evil natures by being Christian. However, humans are not inherently evil, and those individuals who do evil things are just as likely to be Christian as not.
Nature is neutral between good and evil. However, animals other than humans can be evil. For example, a savage dog can attack and kill, not for food or protection but simply because that dog wants to do so.
I would say humans are evil and should quit messing with nature. Otherwise we will make it very angry, and I don't think we want that.
Humans are capable of such love and compassion that it could only be equaled by the utter evil that we do.
moral evil is evil caused by humans Natural evil is caused by nature.
Only evil.

the evil nature of humans.
Hobbes believed that humans are inherently self-interested and driven by a desire for power and survival. He thought humans were naturally in a state of conflict and chaos, leading to the need for a strong central authority to maintain order. Locke, on the other hand, believed that humans are born as blank slates, with the potential for reason and cooperation, and that they have natural rights to life, liberty, and property.
In the Bible story, only humans ate the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, so only humans had this knowledge.
Other stories show humanity's double nature, meaning they are capable of both good an evil
Unlike Confucius or Laozi, Hanfeizi taught that humans were naturally evil. He believed that they needed harsh laws and stiff punishments to force them to do their duty. Hope this helps. :)
There is no scientifically proven concept of "evil" in animals. Animals typically act based on survival instincts and do not have a sense of morality like humans. However, animals that are considered dangerous to humans or that exhibit aggressive behavior may be perceived as "evil" by some people.
Humans are neither good nor evil, but share a set of natural rights and needs.
Hanfeizi believed that humans were naturally bad, while Laozi believed that humans were naturally good.
