A sort of creationism creeps into university teaching.
According to The Australian, science lecturers in Australia are told to not to mention that Aboriginees came to the continent about 40 000 years ago (which is the best scientific understanding).
Among Aboriginees, there is a thought that "they have always lived here" and therefore "putting a limit into the occupation of Australia" is "inappropriate".
So it is “more appropriate” to say Aborigines have been here “since the beginning of the Dreaming/s”
In effect, this is like saying that the rest of the world may have had evolution and migration of humans, but Aboriginees have been created along with the continent, and there is no timeline that can be discussed.
Creationism and science-denialism used to be coming from the religious right. Now it comes from the "inclusive" progressivists.
