At some point genetics enters the spiritual plane. The religious beliefs that have accompanied us for millennia have imprinted on our subconscious that life comes from a higher being, a god.

Do you mean something like Carl Jung's idea of the archetypes?

It was actually a reflection based on Jung's theories. Yes.
Based on the conversations I had with an old friend biologist who worked in the field of genetics years ago. In these conversations I could see how the passion for scientific advances clashed with those ancestral archetypes described by Jung.
