  WEIMAR WORLD SERVICE — Authority: 132

• Beware of Science Fiction!

  
  Little Green Footballs — Authority: 585
  You have got to be kidding. Tonight we learn that the religious right isn’t just anti-science — they’re anti-science fiction too: Beware of Science Fiction . Science fiction takes the reader into a strange world without God. Oh, there might be “a god,” a “force,” but it is definitely not the God of ...

• Beware of Science Fiction!

  
  Gerry Canavan — Authority: 145
  Science fiction is intimately associated with Darwinian evolution. Sagan and Asimov, for example, were prominent evolutionary scientists. Sci-fi arose in the late 19th and early 20th century as a product of an evolutionary worldview that denies the Almighty Creator. In fact, evolution IS the pre-eminent science ...

• Quote Of The Day

  
  The Non-Blonde — Authority: 442
  The Greeks viewed the universe as having been created out of chaos. Chaos was not nothingness but consisted of all the matter of the universe mixed together in random fashion. Chaos was disorder. The creation of the universe was then not the creation of matter, but the imposing of order upon disorder. The ordered ...

  Brooklynguy's Wine and Food Blog — Authority: 115
  If you look at the left side-bar of this blog youll see that with 2010, this blog enters its fifth calendar year. This is misleading, as I have been doing this for only three and a half years. In any case, enough time has passed so that I think its worth stepping back for a minute. And Ill use the beginning of the new ...

• What’s Female for Curmudgeon?

  
  Kmareka.com — Authority: 443
  Let’s face it, the cranky old woman is not a beloved icon. Where’s my role model? Miss Manners looked forward to a tyrannical old age, but you can’t pull that off at 50-something unless you are Queen Victoria or Ivana Trump. Oh Goddess, I feel so out of sync– all cranked up and nowhere to go. But I don’t ...

  The Hero Complex — Authority: 713
  Here it is, 2010, and I still dont have my flying car. When I was a youngster I was certain that the 21st century would live up to its bookshelf hype and that I would be visiting domed cities on the mountains of Mars or, at the very least, ordering around my robot servants. No such luck. Oh, well; at least I finally ...

  The Non-Blonde — Authority: 442
  Jessie pulled out a small mirror and the silver-chased cosmetokit that Baley had bought her on the occasion of three birthdays before. The cosmetokit had several orifices and she used each in turn. All but the last spray were invisible. She used them with that finness of touch and delicacy of control that seems to be ...

  Isaac Asimov was born on this day in Russia. He was a prolific writer, writing some 5oo books! And lots of it was non-fiction. Some the first science fiction I ever read was his Foundation series.

  Elf Killing And Other Hobbies — Authority: 111
  "You must keep sending work out; you must never let a manuscript do nothing but eat its head off in a drawer. You send that work out again and again, while youre working on another one. If you have talent, you will receive some measure of success - but only if you persist." -- Isaac Asimov (1920 - 1992) I very ...

• In which I improve on Sting

  
  Quomodocumque — Authority: 118
  The worst lyric Sting ever wrote, obviously, was It’s no use, he sees her, he starts to shake and cough Just like the old man in that book by Nabokov But if he’d changed the last line to Just like the robot in that book by Asimov it would have been the best lyric he ever wrote.

  A Feather Adrift — Authority: 125
  I adored and admired Carl Sagan and read all his books with great enjoyment. I learned a lot, but one thing that Carl and I did not have in common was his conclusion that there was no better time to be alive as an astronomer than this moment. I would say nay, nay to such a suggestion. This is precisely the wrong time ...

  The Way the Future Blogs — Authority: 111
  When I first began obsessively reading science fiction, at about the age of ten, all sf writers were as gods to me. Some, however, were bigger gods than others, my holiest trinity being Edgar Rice Burroughs, H. G. Wells and Edward Elmer Smith, Ph. D. — with Doc Smith at the top of the [...]
