In the past in the remote Aboriginal communities – mostly under the auspices of the Christian missions – there was a near complete lack of domestic violence, child abuse, alcohol abuse, drug dependency, petrol sniffing, no foetal alcohol syndrome, no youth suicide and very low levels of incarceration. Even in the most remote areas there were high levels of literacy and numeracy and high levels of employment. It is only since the supposedly great reformative referendum of the Sixties and the self-determination era of the Seventies that dysfunction in Aboriginal communities has exploded.

Please let me be equally irrelevant.
I think the bible was an attempt to explain the origin of the world and the people in it.
I must admire the forward thinking of those involved in that undertaking.
They gathered together a series of stories which seemed able to explain everything which happened.
These stories also paved the way for gaining control of a, perhaps, fragmented society.
Mostly by requiring obedience to some superior and exalted intelligence.
Superstition played a big part in the script here.
But they were stories, written by the hand of man.
The problem is that those stories somehow came to be seen as fact, sourced from an infallible intelligence?
And it seems there is no lack of people wanting to see them as such.
The instinct to follow the leader is working overtime here.
And people search them for slight variations of meaning.
And use these 'nuances' to guide them in life.
To base truth on stories is an entirely unproductive venture.
With such unsound basic principles, it is impossible to build a productive and enduring life structure.

I would have started differently.
First there was matter.
Then there was movement.
That introduced random change.
And the blueprint for life is built in to matter.
So eventually intelligent life flourished.
That added planned change to the state of matter.
And so on...

So eventually intelligent life flourished.
Ipso fatso,
Sadly, intelligent life is almost extinct courtesy of the Left & Woke movement ! The pro-Left are hard up spelling the word intelligent but thanks to Grammarly they only just scrape through !
