Cutler was going on about God and molecules, making them his own. “Thus we find when we follow the pure scientific path, we arrive at that elysian pasture where science must stop and devotion begin.
Ahhh, the hypocrisy! Science deniers in action! Forced indoctrination with creationism/intelligent design. In this passage, however, Cutler is Biblically inaccurate and disingenuous as he refers to Elysian pasture of Greek mythology, a paradise for heroes and virtuous individuals. Is Cutler now a heretic? Does his Bible mention these pastures? Doesn't he contradict Biblical truth? The Elysian Fields were, according to Homer, located on the western edge of the Earth by the stream of Oceanus: In Homer's Odyssey, Elysium is described as a paradise:
...to the Elysian plain...where life is easiest for men. No snow is there, nor heavy storm, nor ever rain, but ever does Ocean send up blasts of the shrill-blowing West Wind that they may give cooling to men.
— Homer, Odyssey (4.560–565)
