More quotes by Richard Dawkins
Evolution never looks to the future.
Richard Dawkins
I am not advocating a morality based on evolution.
Richard Dawkins
Religion is about turning untested belief into unshakable truth through the power of institutions and the passage of time.
Richard Dawkins
The assignment of purpose to everything is called teleology. Children are native teleologists, and many never grow out of it.
Richard Dawkins
Each step is not too improbable for us to countenance, but when you add them up cumulatively over millions of years, you get these monsters of improbability, like the human brain and the rain forest. It should warn us against ever again assuming that because something is complicated, God must have done it.
Richard Dawkins
I am at a loss to reconcile the expensive and glossy production values of this book with the breathtaking inanity of the content.
Richard Dawkins
If there is a God, it's going to be a whole lot bigger and a whole lot more incomprehensible than anything that any theologian of any religion has ever proposed.
Richard Dawkins
...it is a telling fact that, the world over, the vast majority of children follow the religion of their parents rather than any of the other available religions.
Richard Dawkins
The thing that defines a species is that all members have the same addressing system for their DNA.
Richard Dawkins
...there are no natural borderlines in evolution. The illusion of a borderline is created by the fact that the evolutionary intermediates happen to be extinct.
Richard Dawkins
My thoughts, my beliefs, my feelings are all in my brain. My brain is going to rot.
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
I respect you too much to respect your ridiculous ideas.
Richard Dawkins
I think more than 20 percent of Nobel Prizes have been won by Jews.
Richard Dawkins
Blasphemy is a Victimless Crime.
Richard Dawkins
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
The solution often turns out more beautiful than the puzzle.
Richard Dawkins
This person should have been aborted years ago.
Richard Dawkins
If you look up at the Milky Way through the eyes of Carl Sagan, you get a feeling in your chest of something greater than yourself. And it is. But it's not supernatural.
Richard Dawkins
DNA neither cares nor knows. DNA just is. And we dance to its music.
Richard Dawkins
