Richard Dawkins
Things exist either because they have recently come into existence or because they have qualities that made them unlikely to be destroyed in the past.
Richard Dawkins
Evolution is fundamentally hostile to religion.
Richard Dawkins
Many people want to send their children to faith schools because they get good exam results, but they're not foolish enough to believe that it's because of faith that they get good exam results.
Richard Dawkins
I don't shout people down. I argue people down, perhaps.
Richard Dawkins

Richard Dawkins

Richard Dawkins
Biology is the study of complicated things that give the appearance of having been designed for a purpose
Richard Dawkins
If we are too friendly to nice, decent bishops, we run the risk of buying into the fiction that there's something virtuous about believing things because of faith rather than because of evidence. We run the risk of betraying scientific enlightenment.
Richard Dawkins
If children were taught to question and think through their beliefs, instead of being taught the superior virtue of faith without question, it is a good bet that there would be no suicide bombers.
Richard Dawkins
Today the theory of evolution is about as much open to doubt as the theory that the earth goes round the sun.
Richard Dawkins
I personally would consider it to be an honour to be fossilized.
Richard Dawkins
The moral law is a reason to think of God as plausible - not just a God who sets the universe in motion but a God who cares about human beings, because we seem uniquely amongst creatures on the planet to have this far-developed sense of morality.
Richard Dawkins
Matthew and Luke handle the problem differently, by deciding that Jesus must have been born in Bethlehem after all. But they get him there by different routes.
Richard Dawkins
In the case of Stalinism, people actually distorted science, because it was for the good of the Communist Party.
Richard Dawkins
