Before Original Sin

A Jesuit Themed Science Fiction Classic

James Blish's, A Case of Conscience (1958) is a classic work, which presents the trip of Jesuit priest to a planet,

inhabited by a species of intelligent dinosaurs, which appears to be existing – without religion of any kind --
in a state "before original sin." The priest perceives the planet as a diabolical trap, but the ending of the book is ambivalent.

    Nice post as for me. I'd like to read something more concerning this matter.
    BTW look at the design I've made myself Companionship in London
