As I can see that even children manifest this nature, it's hard for them to learn to do good things, even if you will keep remind them always, but they easily learn lying or cheating, even if no one tells them?
Romans 3:10-12 (New International Version)
10As it is written:
"There is no one righteous, not even one;
11there is no one who understands,
no one who seeks God.
12All have turned away,
they have together become worthless;
there is no one who does good,
not even one."[a]
Romans 3:23
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
It's only by his Grace that we will believe in the Bible, even if they dig the "Dead sea scrolls"? as a proof that there's a true God who form the universe, and his human creations.
That's why people through out history worship many gods, from native people to tribes men, because they felt that there's really lacking in them. because God has put in our heart a "vacuum shape" God. That only God can fill that emptiness in us. But now the gospel is being preach through out the world as his testimony. so that all men will be saved through his son Jesus Christ
