His colleagues decided to punish Dr. Eloem by sending him off in a spaceship to a far corner of the universe, accompanied by his creations-Adam and Eve. The late author and Anglican theologian C. S. Lewis used space to expound traditional Christian theology in his trilogy Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra and That Hideous Strength. His Perelandrans, for instance, were creatures who had not fallen from primordial grace...
