Having a degree in psychology I by no means consider myself an expert on the subject, but in my opinion having a sexual desire for women is implanted in you by nature and having an 'abnormal' sexual desire for children is implanted in you more by environmental factors, I really don't think the majority of pedophiles were born with those desires.
Ah, the infamous nature/nurture debate ;)
Well, you could just take other fetishes as an example if you consider "abnormal" sexual desires a result of environmental factors. As far as I know, changing those has been proven to be close to impossible as well.
