Richard Dawkins

Richard Dawkins
Let us understand Darwinism so we can walk in the opposite direction when it comes to setting up society.
Richard Dawkins

Richard Dawkins
[Creationists have] lost in the courts of law they've long ago lost in the halls of science and they continue to lose with every new piece of evidence in support of evolution. Taking offense is all they've got left.
Richard Dawkins
Do you advocate the Ten Commandments as a guide to the good life? Then I can only presume that you don't know the Ten Commandments.
Richard Dawkins
The odd thing about tradition is, the longer it's been going, the more people seem to take it seriously - as though sheer passage of time makes something which to begin with was just made up, turns it into what people believe as a fact.
Richard Dawkins
The thing that defines a species is that all members have the same addressing system for their DNA.
Richard Dawkins

Richard Dawkins
