It's not an argument it's a fact. You cannot hold nature responsible for its actions in the way you can hold a human being responsible for theirs. Nature has no compunction to be consistent in its moral rules. The fact that nature is violent and arbitrary doesn't mean that humans get to be violent and arbitrary because they are in different moral categories.

You say fact, but I can hold people accountable or unaccountable for whatever I damn well please,

You certainly can but I'd like to see you try it with nature. That's exactly my point. They have a different moral nature.
