More quotes by Richard Dawkins
Evolution is fundamentally hostile to religion.
Richard Dawkins
Life results from the non-random survival of randomly varying replicators. The watchmaker is blind
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
I'm a sucker for nice religious leaders. I fall for it every time.
Richard Dawkins
The rule of thumb based into the brain by natural selection would not have been, Be nice to your kin and be nice to potential reciprocators. It would have been, Be nice to everybody, because everybody would have been included.
Richard Dawkins
We who are atheists are also a-fairyists, a-teapotists, and a-unicornists, but we don't have to bother saying so.
Richard Dawkins
The solution often turns out more beautiful than the puzzle.
Richard Dawkins
Two religions cannot both be right, because they contradict each other, yet they can both be wrong.
Richard Dawkins
Have they discovered evolution yet?
Richard Dawkins
We have to find our own purposes in life, which are not derived directly from our scientific history.
Richard Dawkins
Not only is science corrosive to religion, but religion is corrosive to science. It teaches people to be satisfied with trivial non-explanations and blinds them to the wonderful real explanations that we have within our grasp.
Richard Dawkins
Can omniscient God, who Knows the future, find The omnipotence to Change His future mind?
Richard Dawkins
If you are in the camp I am, one place where science and faith could touch each other is in the investigation of supposedly miraculous events.
Richard Dawkins
I am trying to call attention to the elephant in the room that everybody is too polite - or too devout - to notice: religion, and specifically the devaluing effect that religion has on human life.
Richard Dawkins
If we ever talk to aliens, their civilisation will be far more advanced than ours (because of distances involved). They won't be religious!
Richard Dawkins
You can never be absolutely certain that anything doesn't exist. But you can show that it's unlikely.
Richard Dawkins
It doesn't hurt my feeling when I get vilified by fundamentalist religious people. I've actually made comedy out of it. I've made light of that.
Richard Dawkins
What is interesting about the scientific world view is that it is true, inspiring, remarkable and that it unites a whole lot of phenomena under a single heading.
Richard Dawkins
I've always been antagonistic to any naïve application of the selfish gene theory to politics. Some people have attempted to suggest that it means we are selfish or we should be selfish.
Richard Dawkins
Something pretty mysterious had to give rise to the origin of the universe.
Richard Dawkins
