"I believe in God, but I also recognize the availability of other explanations for the invariability of Natural Law. "

Natrual Law is a contradiction of God's Law. You need to rethink what you are saying or make up your mind as to what you really believe.

Not at all. You've misunderstood me. Natural Law is self-demonstrating. It's there; no man's opinion can contravene it. If God exists, then Natural Law is God's Law. If God does not exist, Natural Law requires another explanation -- but other explanations are possible.

To believe in God is an act of faith. To accept Natural Law is a much lesser mental operation, merely the acceptance that there's an objective world, whose properties are independent of our preferences.

Freedom, Wealth, and Peace,
