In a sermon about how humans created in God’s image are similar to the primate, Adam One condemns the scientific community by raising the question “Where were the scientific fools when God laid the foundations of the Earth by interposing his own Spirit between one blob of matter another, thus giving rise to forms?” (Atwood, 52), and portraying those who share the beliefs of the scientific community as those who must repent in the eyes of God as he asks the Gardeners to “forgive them in our hearts, for it is not our task today to reprimand, but to contemplate our own earthly state in all humility.” (Atwood, 52), therefore convincing the Gardeners that the scientific community has sinned and must not be trusted at any cost. Adam One persuades the members to reject modern science and instead pursue a naturalistic lifestyle that would give them fulfillment in the eyes of God.

There was no chattering or chirping of birds; no growling of bears and no chuckling of contented otters; instead, the clearing lay desolate and still, as though it never wished to be turned into day.

From its base, dead, brown grass reached out, all the way to the edge of the tree-line, unable to survive in the perished, infertile soil that made up the foundations of the house. Bird houses and feeders swung still from the once growing apple trees, in the back garden, consigned to a life of
