Answer:

Natural law refers to moral principles common to most or all human cultures. ... Divine law is not univerally known, though it may be universally binding. If you do not believe in God, then you will not find divine law compelling, or even, really, acknowledge its existence.

Yes, since natural laws are the results of people comparing claims to reality and are used to define how reality acts. There's no need to include God because the "rules of nature" are only human interpretations of how reality operates.

Natural Law Theory is a man-made concept. It is a logical, reasonable explanation of existence. A heavenly source isn't reasonable or logical in any way. That would suggest a level of responsibility. The Bible's God is a warlord to be dreaded. Man's violation of God caused a schism that was eventually healed in the New Testament... but I digress... A heavenly source is apathetic. It isn't bound by the notions that man has devised. Only man's hubris may claim the title.

There is no such thing as a God or a Creator... That's man's fixation with acting like God. It's all a jumble of noise.

A divine source might be concocted, concocted, witchcraft, mythological. It's possible it's God.
