William Blackstone considered natural law as “dictated by God himself”. That “It is binding over all the globe, in all countries, and at all times: no human laws are of any validity, if contrary to this; and such of them as are valid derive all their force, and all their authority, mediately or immediately, from this original".

I would concede that the creator issued natural law, and that the natural laws are indeed binding. However, there are too many unnatural circumstances in this day and age that require laws that are not derived of natural law, but are just as binding, or should be.

Natural law itself, is NOT dictated by "God" but by "physics." The PROOF of that is the constant catastrophes that occur and HAVE occurred throughout the span of time which ALSO have destroyed many faithful of different religions which thought themselves of the God in heaven. BY "natural law" how can you VALIDATE that a loving, compassionate and caring God would ALLOW nature to devastate the lives of his faithful ? This statement is "ludicrous........."
