I can see that argument, that everything happens because it's natural, but there are some contentions. For example, humans often fight impulses. You see a hot chick, you want to grab her tits, you see some dude pull out a stack of bills at a restaurant, you want to take/have it, etc. But you don't do those because, as a human, you're aware of social norms that defy your impulses. That inner-conflict is a testament to our ability to overcome nature (in this case, our inner-nature), which is not a natural thing to do compared to the rest of nature. Humans are the anomaly on this planet.


I'm operating on the definition of natural as "occurs freely in nature." This definition also may be a cause for confusion here.
