So do evolutionary psychologists say. Then who is the culprit? The DNA that is in the person or the person irrespective of the external environment / circumstance and the genes that persuades him to be a culprit. Then why punishment? Even rapists are not to blame for the rapes for it is primordially or genetically within their genes. Of course punitive action is indispensable but more often than not, but this side of gene-contents too must not be overlooked in fact, for persons maybe good under certain circumstances, and in a different environmental condition people tend to commit sins. For example when a simple, morally bound individual is in politics he is kind of prone to perpetration. Why he is likely to perpetrate is the circumstance induced thing. Then how do you kind of make judgments? Judging a person off hand is not possible at all. Free will is what evangelists or Christian orthodoxists claim. But it has no strong reason. That is why the Free Will subject has never convinced us fully, though it has its roots in faith.
