Books by Isaac Asimov, the renowned American science fiction writer and science popularizer, are a unique blend of scientific accuracy, vivid imagery, and masterful storytelling. He aims to bring the latest discoveries in science—particularly in biology and chemistry—to a broad audience, often weaving intriguing semi-fantastical hypotheses based on still-unconfirmed findings. In his book *In the Beginning*, Asimov offers a scientific commentary on the biblical account of the creation of the universe and humanity, as well as the "historical" events described in the first eleven chapters of Genesis. Without disputing or proving any particular point, the author skillfully guides readers—including believers—toward the conclusion that the biblical worldview does not align with contemporary scientific understanding of the natural world.
