More quotes by Richard Dawkins

Image
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
Image
Pantheism is sexed-up atheism. Deism is watered-down theism.
Richard Dawkins
Image
Even if there were no actual evidence in favor of the Darwinian theory, we should still be justified in preferring it over all rival theories.
Richard Dawkins
Image
If you set out in a spaceship to find the one planet in the galaxy that has life, the odds against your finding it would be so great that the task would be indistinguishable, in practice, from impossible.
Richard Dawkins
Image
We're going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones.
Richard Dawkins
Image
It's about time we start criticizing faith.
Richard Dawkins
Image
They are in you and me they created us, body and mind and their preservation is the ultimate rationale for our existence. They have come a long way, those replicators. Now they go by the name of genes, and we are their survival machines.
Richard Dawkins
Image
Professor Challenger, Conan Doyle's science hero, was a sort of irascible man constantly bellowing at people, so he was a little bit of a departure from both of those stereotypes.
Richard Dawkins
Image
Any entity capable of intelligently designing something as improbable as Dutchman's Pipe (or a universe) would have to be even more improbable than a Dutchman's Pipe. Far from terminating the vicious regress, God aggravates it with a vengeance.
Richard Dawkins
Image
Having a debate with a modern Christian is like punching a sponge.
Richard Dawkins
Image
DNA neither cares nor knows. DNA just is. And we dance to its music.
Richard Dawkins
Image
I think from my point of view - I won't say it doesn't matter whether [Darwinian explanations] are right or wrong, it's just sufficient in some cases, for me, to be able to say, Well, at least it's not totally implausible from a Darwinian point of view.
Richard Dawkins
Image
The evidence for evolution is so compelling that the only way to save the creation theory is to assume that God deliberately planted enormous quantities of evidence to make it look as if evolution had happened.
Richard Dawkins
Image
You cannot be both sane and well educated and disbelieve in evolution. The evidence is so strong that any sane, educated person has got to believe in evolution.
Richard Dawkins
Image
Science replaces private prejudice with public, verifiable evidence.
Richard Dawkins
Image
Something pretty mysterious had to give rise to the origin of the universe.
Richard Dawkins
Image
The question of whether there exists a supernatural creator, a God, is one of the most important that we have to answer. I think that it is a scientific question. My answer is no.
Richard Dawkins
Image
When I sign books, I get lines of people and what they usually say is: Thank you. You have changed my life. I am really moved by that.
Richard Dawkins
Image
There is a tendency for people to say evolution is only a theory. That is inappropriate.
Richard Dawkins
Image
There is no such thing as a Christian child: only a child of Christian parents.
Richard Dawkins
