**Sorry guys, we sent to quickly... here is the rest of our comments:

-your topic seems pretty subjective. What do you think is "evil." We were just remembering the heated discussion we had in class regarding the quote from Wright that said "natural selection is evil" and how everyone was debating over how we could actually define evil. It seems as though you might be equating bad with evil. That might need a bit more clarification- define your definition of evil and use that as a spring board for your project.
-What kind of questions will you ask in your survey? Will you merely be asking people if they think human evilness is innate or created? Or will you be setting up scenarios which consist of opportunities for a person to make a decision to be either good or evil, and then judging whether your survey participants themselves are evil?

Beyond these formalities... it seems well thought out and like a great idea.
