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> |

★★★☆☆ |

|
<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> |
