Isaac Asimov is, in reality, based on something I had invented a few years previously.
Arthur C. ClarkeMy favorite definition of an intellectual: 'Someone who has been educated beyond his/her intelligence'.
Arthur C. ClarkeI have encountered a few "creationists" and because they were usually nice, intelligent people, I have been unable to decide whether they were really mad or only pretending to be mad. If I was a religious person, I would consider creationism nothing less than blasphemy. Do its adherents imagine that God is a cosmic hoaxer who has created the whole vast fossil record for the sole purpose of misleading humankind?
