"What's also interesting is many people can't tell the difference between science fiction and the real thing.... [I.e., they "learn their 'science'" by reading Asimov, Bradbury, et al. Not to say they're not great reads....]"

Doctor Asimov was always careful to distinguish in his writing between the fanciful and the proven. His writings on science were some of his most popular articles.

He also wrote a guide to the Bible, considering it evidence, no doubt, from an unimpeachable source.

And what exactly is it in your estimation that renders Dr. Asimov so "unimpeachable?" Has he got some "privileged" view that I (we) need to respect? If so,what is that view? And why would it be any more "unimpeachable" than my own view?
