More quotes by Richard Dawkins
Faith rests squarely upon reason, but with the added component of revelation.
Richard Dawkins
It is possible in medicine, even when you intend to do good, to do harm instead. That is why science thrives on actively encouraging criticism rather than stifling it.
Richard Dawkins
A designer God cannot be used to explain organized complexity because any God capable of designing anything would have to be complex enough to demand the same kind of explanation in his own right.
Richard Dawkins
I am not an enthusiast for diversity of opinion where facts are concerned.
Richard Dawkins
Matter flows from place to place, and momentarily comes together to be you. Some people find that thought disturbing I find the reality thrilling.
Richard Dawkins
As a scientist, I am hostile to fundamentalist religion because it actively debauches the scientific enterprise. It teaches us not to change our minds, and not to want to know exciting things that are available to be known. It subverts science and saps the intellect.
Richard Dawkins
Most of what we strive for in our modern life uses the apparatus of goal seeking that was originally set up to seek goals in the state of nature.
Richard Dawkins
The chances of each of us coming into existence are infinitesimally small, and even though we shall all die some day, we should count ourselves fantastically lucky to get our decades in the sun.
Richard Dawkins
The time has come for people of reason to say: Enough is Enough! Religious faith discourages independent thought, it's divisive and it's dangerous.
Richard Dawkins
Race does not come into it. It is pure religion and culture. Something about the cultural tradition of Jews is way, way more sympathetic to science and learning and intellectual pursuits than Islam. That would have been a fair comparison.
Richard Dawkins
Words are our servants, not our masters. For different purposes, we find it convenient to use words in different senses.
Richard Dawkins
When two opposite points of view are expressed with equal intensity, the truth does not necessarily lie exactly half way between. It is possible for one side simply to be wrong.
Richard Dawkins
Even those who do not, or cannot, avail themselves of a scientific education, choose to benefit from the technology that is made possible by the scientific education of others.
Richard Dawkins
My personal feeling is that understanding evolution led me to atheism.
Richard Dawkins
Atheism is not a religion. Abstinence is not a sex position.
Richard Dawkins
I'm not one of those who wants to purge our society of our Christian history.
Richard Dawkins
Science is interesting, and if you don't agree, you can fvck off.
Richard Dawkins
There are people in the world who desperately want not to have to believe in Darwinism .
Richard Dawkins
Science replaces private prejudice with public, verifiable evidence.
Richard Dawkins
I'm a sucker for nice religious leaders. I fall for it every time.
Richard Dawkins
