Because nurture plays such a key role in developing the full potential of the innate intelligence a person is born with, there is no way that anyone can adequately make the judgment of what that potential is when a particular individual is born

Solzhenitsyn rightly points out that genetics (nature) vs (environment) nurture are two sides of the same materialistic coin. We are supposed to choose one or a mixture of both. However, those of us who believe in a spiritual component to man should reject this false dichotomy.

I agree, but for those who don’t have the concept of the spiritual component, there has to be some way of convincing them.
