The Romans had a nifty saying along these lines: you can try to drive out Mother Nature with a pitchfork but she always comes back.

CS Lewis spoke of those who complain of men doing things that are “out of nature” at the same time denying God and original sin by claiming that humans are merely products of nature. (He was defending the notion of original sin and all nature and creation being cursed). He said...”If men be products of Nature then something has gone wrong with Nature or with man if men find themselves out of bounds with nature. That is, if men are truly products of nature!”(it’s close to the original quote but I was too lazy to find and copy and paste it)
