   That's Darwinian 'evolution' nonsense.   
      
   In Creation, the creature was Made first, and the 'egg' came as a result of   
   that, later.   
      
   So the creature, namely the musician, in this case, came first, and their   
   disposition to cultivating talent in something(s) came later, maybe when the   
   person heard a song they liked, and/or saw a band, noticed a particular   
   musician and thought, "gee, I'd like to do that", and then FOLLOWED UP on   
   that notion with LOTS of HARD WORK!   
      
   The Foreigner tune; "Jukebox Hero" mentions such a situation.

   Are you absolutely sure of that? What I mean is that are you absolutely sure   
   that those students who 'easily' picked things up weren't in fact so highly   
   motivated that their failure was simply not an option to them?   
      
   And could it also be that those who seemed 'hopeless' possibly instead had   
   hopes somewhat less than those conducive to indomitable resolve to   
   accomplish the objective at hand?
