Well, with these sorts of statements, we have to be careful with our language.
If human evil exists, then human evil exists in nature.
I think that what you mean to say is that nature is not capable of evil in the way that people are alleged to be. That's a fairly common position regardless of a persons underlying position on the nature of the moral field or the state of the world as it relates to any standard of virtue or deficiency.
