All cultures that survived and that we know anything about in times of pre-literacy necessarily had an oral tradition... Did you really even need to ask that question? About two seconds of rational thought devised that answer, oh wait, you're incapable of rationality, nevermind.
Quote:I believe 100% that the Aboriginals believed that the rainbow serpent created their world they lived (and sprits).
And I believe 100% that the Jews believed they had an ancestor called Abraham... What's your point?
Quote: I also believe in the time of Moses a Jew already knew the story of the garden of Eden, as it was passed down by oral tradition.
Sure, and that has absolfuckinglutely nothing to do with whether or not such a thing actually happened.
