Fundamentally it comes from a lack of ability to abstract and understand higher powers in life. Europeans (and for that matter virtually all people who lived north of the Sahara) have for thousands of years evolved in cultures that have had various religious influences, one being nearly universally understood as the "mother earth". This reverence for the earth goes back to our early days of agrarian settlement in the fertile crescent nearly 10,000 years ago, praying each spring for a good harvest. Despite modern religious needs mostly being overtaken by Christianity, the roots for our cultural reverence are for so deep as to be genetic. Whites have a deep respect for the earth and the sea. When was the last time you have ever seen a black sailor? These traits are absent in Sub-Saharan Africans because they had no need for them.
