@KuteboiCoder This is a great question.

To some degree it's because technology has given man an overinflated ego - that we are the masters of our own destiny. We were actually God all along.

Once you say "god is dead" it is easy to keep saying that because then you get to say you want to rewrite any rule you want, no matter how old it is. You can say "we're smarter/better now, this doesn't apply"
