Welcome to psych.SE.  This question will likely solicit opinion-based answers, which will get it closed.  The reason is probably a cultural one, but how do you propose to investigate it?  Adding details of what sort of evidence you are looking for would help.

The common name for this, [_appeal to nature fallacy_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal_to_nature), should get you started finding some resources based on which you perhaps can formulate a more specific question. In fact, simply including a reference to this term in your question would greatly improve it. It provides evidence there is a reason for asking this question.
