The words of Moses in Genesis 1
You will recall that on the sixth day of creation when, according to the Genesis 1 version, God made many men and women and
told them:
"Have many children, so that your descendants will live all over the earth and bring it under their control.
I am putting you in charge of the fish, the birds, and all the wild animals. I have provided all kinds of grain and all kinds
of fruit for you to eat; but for all the wild animals and for all the birds I have provided grass and leafy plants for food."
He didn’t tell them to go forth and create countries into which the people must be herded and ruled over.
He didn’t say those people should be trained to build empires for their rulers and to do battle and slaughter other people in neighbouring
territories.

Not at all. He simply told them to have their descendants take the world and its animal kingdom "under their (collective)
control."
Bearing in mind that man was created after all other worldly features and life forms, was Moses attempting to tell us that man was created for
the sole purpose of becoming an intelligent global "Game Ranger," tasked to ensure ("under their control") all creatures within the actual work force performed as intended?
If that was the divine plan clearly something went dreadfully wrong!
The people missed the plot completely and all subsequent community and religious leaders
capitalised on that dreadful mistake. Or were the people deliberately deceived by those leaders for their own greedy and power-hungry benefit?
I am inclined to believe so.
