Nature, Nurture but not Ordained.
Many religeous people would suggest that Tom Brady received "God-given talent" to throw a football, Taylor Swift to write music and Mike Tyson to beat the crap out of opponents in the ring. But in the case of Tyson, that means he received the same talent from God to beat the crap out of his spouse and abuse women in general. Is that really a talent that God would give out? I would like to think not, which means talent may be inherited and/or developed but it probably is not recieved from God, unless God is not thinking through his gifts very well.

Perhaps it wasn't Iron Mike who received his gifts from God. I would argue it's just as likely that God gave his opponents a divine gift for getting their asses kicked. Maybe these moron baseball players who point to the sky after sliding safely into second have it all wrong. Maybe God loves a loser and has BLESSED to mediocre pitcher who hung the curve!
