It is interesting that science-fiction takes itself so seriously.

Indeed. 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....]

Sigh.

Thank you so very much for your kind words of support, dearest sister in Christ!

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.
