In this episode, Dr. Reanney advances the controversial theory that man invented the concept of God to answer a basic biological need. He believes that man's awareness of death created a need for a belief in a hereafter. The concept of God helped to enforce a moral order, necessary for the functioning of a complex society. Dr. Reanney looks at the conflict between this moral order and the biological legacy of individual selfishness.
The theory that life was supernaturally created has found increasing favour among scientists. 'Creationism' is being taught in some American schools, and there are attempts to legislate to make it compulsory. Dr. Reanney asks if this new direction is leading to a revival of the Dark Ages.

What is man? According to Dr. Reanney, no more than a package for the survival of the gene. His view is that organisms are genetically identical cells, grouped for mutual advantage, and human beings are no more than survival machines, devised by our DNA molecules to cope with the environment.
Queensland country-and-western trio, The Webb Brothers, who first appeared in A Big Country in 1972, have been recording for 25 years, and last year also marked the centenary of the Webb family's settlement in the Gympie region. To celebrate both events, a weekend country music concert was staged at the Webb property, 'Thornside'. This program captures the atmosphere of a weekend that was climaxed by a Centenary Ball under a marquee the size of a football field.
