Richard Dawkins

Richard Dawkins

Richard Dawkins
Image
It's very likely that most mammals have consciousness, and probably birds, too.
Richard Dawkins
Image
The feeling of awed wonder that science can give us is one of the highest experiences of which the human psyche is capable.
Richard Dawkins
Image
I would challenge the statement that my scientific instincts are any less rigorous than [Richard Dawkins]. The difference is that my presumption of the possibility of God and therefore the supernatural is not zero, and yours is.
Richard Dawkins
Image
[Jay] Gould sets up an artificial wall between the two worldviews that doesn't exist in my life.
Richard Dawkins
Image
Myths are fun, as long as you don't confuse them with the truth.
Richard Dawkins
Image
Absolutist morality doesn't have to come from religion but usually does.
Richard Dawkins
Image
That was unfortunate. I should have compared religion with religion and compared Islam not with Trinity College but with Jews, because the number of Jews who have won Nobel Prizes is phenomenally high.
