It's not built in...the knowledge of good and evil.

Genesis 2:9 and 17, 3:1-7
Any idea of “total depravity” is destroyed by the very first moment of sin in human life.  God made a tree that had a fruit that, when eaten, gave two (yes, count ‘em, 2) painful gifts.  First, death entered into human experience as promised.  Second, the fruit juice entered human tissues and its effective capacity – that for which it was named – became a permanent part of humanity:  the knowledge of good and evil.
