	Evidence (Asimov) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Many people choose to see Asimov's treatment of technophobia as an allegory to the anti-Semitism with which he was bitterly familiar; he wrote "Evidence" during Army service shortly after World War II.
		Asimov was initially gleeful, imagining that a grand, Citizen Kane-style motion picture would soon be in the works.
		Asimov's later story "The Evitable Conflict" reveals that he prospers in politics, eventually becoming head of the planetary government.

	Isaac Asimov Science and the Bible (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Asimov: I imagine that the large majority of the population, in the United States at least, either accepts every word of the Bible as it is written or gives it very little thought and would be shocked to hear anyone doubt that the Bible is correct in every way.
		Asimov: Well, all of the scientific evidence we have seems to indicate that the universe is billions of years old.
		Asimov: Well, individual human beings may. There's a certain comfort, I suppose, in thinking that you will be with all of your loved ones again after death, that death is not the end, that you'll live again in some kind of never-never land with great happiness.

	Three Laws of Robotics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Asimov was not initially aware of this; he assumed the word already existed by analogy with mechanics, hydraulics, and other similar terms denoting branches of applied knowledge.
		Asimov took varying positions on whether the Laws were optional: although in his first writings they were simply carefully engineered safeguards, in later stories Asimov stated that they were an inalienable part of the mathematical foundation underlying the positronic brain.
		In "Evidence", Susan Calvin points out that a robot may even act as a prosecuting attorney: in the American justice system, it is the jury which decides guilt or innocence, the judge who decides the sentence, and in capital punishment it is the executioner who carries out the act.

	Articles: Asimov's Laws of Robotics: Implications for Information Technology
		Asimov’s intent was to devise a set of rules that would provide reliable control over semi-autonomous machines.
		Asimov was not the first to conceive of well-engineered, non-threatening robots, but he pursued the theme with such enormous imagination and persistence that most of the ideas that have emerged in this branch of science fiction are identifiable with his stories.
		As Asimov later wrote (with his characteristic clarity and lack of modesty), “Many writers of robot stories, without actually quoting the three laws, take them for granted, and expect the readers to do the same”.

	The History of the Positronic Robot and Foundation Stories
		Asimov was opposed, but in the end Campbell got his way, and Asimov agreed.
		Asimov was in the Army before he could begin work on it, but in January 1946 a sympathetic librarian at his boot camp in Camp Lee, Virginia let him use the library's typewriter, and on the 6th he began work on the story, which he called "Evidence".
		Asimov had been working on the Foundation series now for five years, and "Now You See It--" was his seventh Foundation story; he wanted to end it and move on to other things.

		Asimov who was charged with four federal counts of possession of child pornography with each count carrying a five year sentence, pled guilty to two counts in a plea bargain deal.
		In March 1998, Asimov was arrested in Sonoma County and charged with two counts of felony exploitation of a child and possession of pornography.
		Asimov was indicted by a federal grand jury in November 1999 on four counts of possessing images of child pornography.

	Articles: July 2004 Archives
		Asimov’s robotic laws were designed by a writer for literary purposes, and his stories were often interesting because the robots’ behaviour was not the behaviour expected of humans.
		Asimov was well aware of the myth of the Golem, an artificial warrior/protector made of clay and imbued with life in 16th Century Prague by Rabbi Löw.
		Asimov’s Laws are humanity’s early, off-the-cuff answer to the question, “How do we build robots that get along well in human society?” But they led to failure in his stories, and would lead to failure if implemented in real life.

	Welcome to the Asimov Vault
		Asimov, like many science fiction readers were simply bored reading essentially the same story over and over again.
		For through this clarity was Asimov able to convey and contribute remarkable ideas to the world of science fiction.
		There appears to be no substantial evidence of intentional usage of shifts in points of view and irony because they are either not necessary or reduce the clarity of his writing.

		By explaining the reasons for pessimistic and optimistic types of science fiction he easily showed how devastating events like WWI scared the people and it was shown in the change from an optimistic view of the future to a pessimistic outlook.
		Asimov used only one book and one event to define the eras that he discussed.
		It leaves the reader to wonder what the society of that time was like and if the literature was really shaped by it or was the one book he chose just an easy correlation to the events of that time.

	Isaac Asimov's Robotics FAQ
		Here Isaac Asimov, Lithuanian Jew, writer of entertaining fantasies about robots etcetera, discloses the origins of the etcetera in an account which, should there be any doubt, is reproduced verbatim.
		And in order not the prejudice the reader let it only be said that there is evidence to suggest that nothing remains at all except for a tenuous grasp of reality and a glib tongue.
		Asimov, how did you come to be such an expert in the field of robotics?

	Bible Query - Responding to Asimov's Guide to the Bible on the Old Testament
		Asimov's flaw is that while he uses the comparison of Azazel with a hypothetical idolatrous Israelite practice to show this ritual was not given by a transcendent God, there is no evidence of idolatrous Israelites having a practice similar to Azazel.
		A: No. Asimov asserts two things, that Samson was a type of the solar myths (p.248), and Nazirites in general, were a type of the solar myths because their long hair represents the sun’s rays (p.249).
		Asimov speculates that perhaps it was another name for Shenazar, and Shenazar was the fourth son of Jeconiah (1 Chronicles 3:18) the former king of Judah.

	Asimov & Clarke: Short Stories
		Asimov and Clarke are two of the most popular writers of short stories in the history of science fiction.
		Asimov had a Ph.D. in chemistry, worked as a college professor for a while and published huge numbers of popular science books (as well as books on virtually every other topic, such as Shakespeare and the Bible).
		The two Asimov stories, though written in the 1940s and published in Astounding, were anthologized in the early 1950s in the collection I Robot.

	Review of Forward the Foundation
		As a solution to the story’s fundamental problem, the ploy is unconvincing, and in almost every regard, the comparisons with "Evidence" (which anyone familiar with "Evidence" cannot help but notice) are all to the earlier story’s favor.
		Nor is Asimov’s overall writing quite up to par; the book does not flow quite as well as earlier books.
		This is parallel to what was happening to Asimov himself: his end was near, life was getting harder and harder, and he was helpless to stop it.

		The late Dr. Asimov's clear wit and wisdom is taken to bear here on fools and the future.
		Other topics to which Asimov devotes essays include resurrected gods, creationism's demand to be taught in public schools, argument from consensus, scientific illiteracy in politics, sexual equality, pollution, and hyperspace ("There is no evidence for its existence").
		In agreement with the rest of the reviews to date, Asimov is very good at showing people how creative thinking and logical reasoning can be applied to various topics.

		Mentioned in Isaac Asimov on Science and the Bible
		Some time ago, Ronald Reagan pointed out that one couldn't trust the Soviet government because the Soviets didn't believe in God or in an afterlife and therefore had no reason to behave honorably, but would be willing to lie and cheat and do all sorts of wicked things to aid their cause.
		Religious believers might argue that way, but I think that is a horrible perversion of thought and of morality.

		Set in the same time-travel world as Doomsday Book, To Say Nothing of the Dog, and “Fire Watch” (Asimov’s, February 1982), the novel involves four historians studying World War II, from the evacuation of the children in 1939 to the Blitz to the deception war that preceded D-Day.
