Clearly you don’t understand the nature of natural law in the way we see it. In natural law there is a telos(end) which all actions should direct towards and often there are virtues in which all actions should coincide akin to the Aristotelian formulation. Animals murder, bash each other’s brains in, etc that’s clearly apart of nature and no one with any sanity would ever deny that. However since we see humans as rational animals and Christ as ‘logos’ we use reason to argue that certain things in themselves are good and need to be preserved like life for example, and from that we conclude that for example murder is bad. It’s quite simple tbh, and a sin can go against multiple goods. It’s also founded in 1 Peter 3:15, you should always have a reason for what you do. God bless
