More quotes by Richard Dawkins
I think a fundamentalist is somebody who believes something unshakably and isn't going to change their mind.
Richard Dawkins
St. Augustine wrote that basically it is not possible to understand what was being described in Genesis. It was not intended as a science textbook. It was intended as a description of who God was, who we are and what our relationship is supposed to be with God.
Richard Dawkins
The idea of an afterlife where you can be reunited with loved ones can be immensely consoling - though not to me.
Richard Dawkins
Do humans have a different moral significance than cows in general?
Richard Dawkins
I hate the neologism owned for scored a victory over. I have no intention of owning anyone, and nobody will ever own me.
Richard Dawkins
The important thing to remember about mathematics is not to be frightened
Richard Dawkins
False beliefs can be every bit as consoling as true ones, right up until the moment of disillusionment.
Richard Dawkins
What I can't understand is why you invoke improbability and yet you will not admit that you're shooting yourself in the foot by postulating something just as improbable, magicking into existence the word God.
Richard Dawkins
There's nothing nonsensical about saying that what would evolve if Darwinian selection has its head is something that you don't want to happen. And I could easily imagine trying to go against Darwinism.
Richard Dawkins
Intelligent life on a planet comes of age when it first works out the reason for its own existence.
Richard Dawkins
DNA neither cares nor knows. DNA just is. And we dance to its music.
Richard Dawkins
Thus the creationist's favourite question What is the use of half an eye? Actually, this is a lightweight question, a doddle to answer. Half an eye is just 1 per cent better than 49 per cent of an eye.
Richard Dawkins
In the case of Stalinism, people actually distorted science, because it was for the good of the Communist Party.
Richard Dawkins
I don't shout people down. I argue people down, perhaps.
Richard Dawkins
Science is wonderful, science is important, and so are children, so are young people, and so what could be better than to write a science book for young people?
Richard Dawkins
Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born
Richard Dawkins
Atheism is not a religion. Abstinence is not a sex position.
Richard Dawkins
If we ever talk to aliens, their civilisation will be far more advanced than ours (because of distances involved). They won't be religious!
Richard Dawkins
All the world’s Muslims have fewer Nobel Prizes than Trinity College, Cambridge. They did great things in the Middle Ages, though.
Richard Dawkins
The present Luddism over genetic engineering may die a natural death as the computer-illiterate generation is superseded.... I fear that, if the green movement's high-amplitude warnings over GMOs turn out to be empty, people will be dangerously disinclined to listen to other and more serious warnings.
Richard Dawkins
