You ask,
​
"What is the reason for DNists to believe that only natural laws operate in biological processes?"
​
It isn't so much that they "believe" this. It is only that it's difficult to do science if you have to incorporate a "theory of miracles" or some other supernatural element.

Well at least you seem to be agreeing that we are descended from earlier, different life forms (early mammals, amphibians, fish, etc.).
​
That's a start.
