Thanks for helping me understand. Still, I could have thought fear, ignorance and arrogance would tie in with the choice to disregard nature, but that is irrelevant now. I mean, what I was initially asking was just one possibility, but I also know the three things you said; fear, ignorance and arrogance would also lead to the creation of gods.

What do you mean by "conscious choice", though?
