More quotes by Richard Dawkins
There are all sorts of things that would be comforting. I expect an injection of morphine would be comforting... But to say that something is comforting is not to say that it's true.
Richard Dawkins
Public sharing is an important part of science.
Richard Dawkins
We cannot prove that there is no God, but we can safely conclude the He is very, very improbable indeed.
Richard Dawkins
We're going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones.
Richard Dawkins
Evolution may explain some features of the moral law, but it can't explain why it should have any real significance.
Richard Dawkins
I don't feel depressed. I feel elated.
Richard Dawkins
In Britain you don't usually learn about evolution until you are about 15. I should have thought that you should start at about 8. But I could be wrong about that.
Richard Dawkins
[The Internet] is by far the most important innovation in the media in my lifetime. It's like having a huge encyclopedia permanently available. There's a tremendous amount of rubbish on the world wide web, but retrieval of what you want to so rapid that it doesn't really matter
Richard Dawkins
I am an enthusiastic Darwinian, but I think Darwinism is too big a theory to be confined to the narrow context of the gene.
Richard Dawkins
There are many religious points of view where the conservation of the world is just as important as it is to scientists.
Richard Dawkins
I don't know what to think about magic and fairy tales.
Richard Dawkins
The genetic code is not a binary code as in computers, nor an eight-level code as in some telephone systems, but a quaternary code with four symbols. The machine code of the genes is uncannily computerlike.
Richard Dawkins
Even if there were no actual evidence in favor of the Darwinian theory, we should still be justified in preferring it over all rival theories.
Richard Dawkins
It's very likely that most mammals have consciousness, and probably birds, too.
Richard Dawkins
Let's get up off our knees, stop cringing before bogeymen and virtual fathers, face reality, and help science to do something constructive about human suffering.
Richard Dawkins
Most of the ones [Nobel prizes] that have gone to Muslims have been peace prizes, and the [number of Muslims] who have gotten them for scientific work is exceedingly low. But in Jews, it is exceedingly high.
Richard Dawkins
Do those people who hold up the Bible as an inspiration to moral rectitude have the slightest notion of what is actually written in it?
Richard Dawkins
What I am skeptical about is the idea that whatever wonderful revelation does come in the science of the future, it will turn out to be one of the particular historical religions that people happen to have dreamed up.
Richard Dawkins
It is important not to confuse race and religion.
Richard Dawkins
My personal feeling is that understanding evolution led me to atheism.
Richard Dawkins
