|
|
In the Beginning: Science Faces God in the Book of Genesis. The beginning of
|
||
|
|
time. The origin of life. In our Western civilization, there are two
|
||
|
|
influential accounts of beginnings. One is the biblical account, compiled more
|
||
|
|
than two thousand years ago by Judean writers who based much of their thinking
|
||
|
|
on the Babylonian astronomical lore of the day. The other is the account of
|
||
|
|
modern science, which, in the last century, has slowly built up a coherent
|
||
|
|
picture of how it all began. Both represent the best thinking of their times,
|
||
|
|
and in this line-by-line annotation of the first eleven chapters of Genesis,
|
||
|
|
Isaac Asimov carefully and evenhandedly compares the two accounts, pointing
|
||
|
|
out where they are similar and where they are different.</p>

★★★☆☆

</div>
|
||
|
|
<p>I'm really a fan of Asimov books and I was really eager to read some of his
|
||
|
|
non-fiction books.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>On this book, he discusses the Genesis, the first book of the bible. The weird
|
||
|
|
thing is that the introduction makes it seem like he will use the bible as a
|
||
|
|
starting point for science -- the introduction mentions that the people who
|
||
|
|
wrote the bible were not stupid, and they were the most smart people at the
|
||
|
|
time -- so I was expecting it to be more like "they thought this, but now we
|
||
|
|
know this". It wasn't like this; but it was really interesting for pointing
|
||
|
|
what was in the bible and what know at the time.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>So although it is not a journey to the science, its a really interesting
|
||
|
|
journey to history in the region were the bible was written.</p>
