We are a part of that cycle. The balance was never perfect. It was never a circle. It was ovoid... oblong... weighted. The ice age is a perfect example of that. The atmospheric and oceanic conditions moved along until a breaking point, the ice age hit, reset it and over we started. Anything a human makes is natural as we are part of nature. Us building a house is no different, in all logical sensibility, than a bird building a nest. Us puffing smoke out of a factory is no different that a cow letting loose litres of methane. This is true in the same sense that there really can be no such thing as "supernatural". Everything that is real and exists is natural.
As a side note, if you believe in free will, how can you then ask if something was "meant to happen"? Those two things counter each other in most logical processes.
