More quotes by Richard Dawkins
If it is solely an evolutionary convenience, there is really no such thing as good or evil.
Richard Dawkins
We should take astrology seriously. No, I don't mean we should believe in it. I am talking about fighting it seriously instead of humouring it as a piece of harmless fun.
Richard Dawkins
Design cannot precede evolution and therefore cannot underlie the universe.
Richard Dawkins
Yesterday's dangerous idea is today's orthodoxy and tomorrow's cliché.
Richard Dawkins
Some people find clarity threatening. They like muddle, confusion, obscurity. So when somebody does no more than speak clearly it sounds threatening.
Richard Dawkins
Personally, I rather look forward to a computer program winning the world chess championship. Humanity needs a lesson in humility.
Richard Dawkins
Secularism is categorically not saying that the religious may not speak out publicly or have a say in public life. It is about saying that religion alone should not confer a privileged say in public life, or greater influence on it. It really is as simple as that.
Richard Dawkins
Scientific beliefs are supported by evidence, and they get results. Myths and faiths are not and do not.
Richard Dawkins
I'm fond of science fiction. But not all science fiction.
Richard Dawkins
My thoughts, my beliefs, my feelings are all in my brain. My brain is going to rot.
Richard Dawkins
If you are asking me if my more global purpose is a battle against religion, it is.
Richard Dawkins
In the case of Stalinism, people actually distorted science, because it was for the good of the Communist Party.
Richard Dawkins
We don't need fossils - the case for evolution is watertight without them so it is paradoxical to use gaps in the fossil record as though they were evidence against evolution
Richard Dawkins
Have they discovered evolution yet?
Richard Dawkins
Of course, we would love to know more about the exact moment of Big Bang, but interposing an outside intelligence does nothing to add to that knowledge, as we still know nothing about the creation of that intelligence.
Richard Dawkins
It is almost as if the human brain were specifically designed to misunderstand Darwinism, and to find it hard to believe
Richard Dawkins
What is the purpose of the universe? is a silly question.
Richard Dawkins
At the deepest level, all living things that have ever been looked at have the same DNA code. And many of the same genes.
Richard Dawkins
My decision to be a scientist was a bit of a drift really, more or less by default.
Richard Dawkins
Bereavement is terrible, of course. And when somebody you love dies, it's a time for reflection, a time for memory, a time for regret.
Richard Dawkins
