Cutler shook his head sadly, sharing with the audience his deep sorrow for Thatcher. “The contract our Almighty has made with man. How could any of us forget his promises to us? Man’s supremacy over the earth. Man’s power of articulate speech, man’s gift of reason, his free will, his fall and his redemption. How could we forget the incarnation of the Eternal Son, and the indwelling of the Eternal Spirit? These gifts cannot be reconciled with any story of our creation except the divine. Children, do not let yourselves be degraded. You were created in the image of our redeemer.”
Here, Cutler mentions the gift of reason while he discredits it through indoctrination. The biblical mandate of man's supremacy over the Earth has justified our destructive behaviors with the environment. It continues to this day.
