However, it is still a concious choice to leave behind any religious teachings/personal bias to accept the reality of science. Whether we be a science experiment or dust of the cosmos, we still make the decision to follow a set of rules. Whether they be beliefs or scientific facts. Humans need a structure. Some would argue we were created to be ruled.
Then they would argue without anything to back their argument.
There is no solid evidence on our origins. Only theories, hypothesis and superstition.
Any outright claiming to have the knowledge that is denied to the rest of the human race would require substantial evidence to back their claims.
As for structure, it would seem the structure that is present in the reality we live in would suffice.
