True, but really this makes it even less of an attempt to impose human will on the universe. It's an attempt to impose the divine will.
I think the whole idea of humans imposing their will on the world is pretty recent. I mean, it's alien to the Greek idea of tekhne. When you carve a statue out of a rock, you're not imposing an idea on it, you're pulling out a form that's already there. And in both paganism and Judeo-Christianity, if you try to impose yourself on the world what usually happens to you is a sound ass-kicking from the god(s).
