I don't want to sound callous. I mean, even if I have nothing to offer, that doesn't matter, because that still doesn't mean that what anybody else has to offer therefore has to be true.
Richard Dawkins

The true scientific understanding of the nature of existence is so utterly fascinating how could you not want people to share it? Carl Sagan, I think, said 'when you're in love, you want to tell the world.' And who, on understanding a scientific view of reality, would not, as it were, fall in love and want to tell the world.
Richard Dawkins

The truth is more magical - in the best and most exciting sense of the word - than any myth or made-up mystery or miracle. Science has its own magic: the magic of reality.

Evolution may explain some features of the moral law, but it can't explain why it should have any real significance.
Richard Dawkins
Image
Some people find clarity threatening. They like muddle, confusion, obscurity. So when somebody does no more than speak clearly it sounds threatening.
Richard Dawkins

Have they discovered evolution yet?
Richard Dawkins
Image
Words are our servants, not our masters. For different purposes, we find it convenient to use words in different senses.
Richard Dawkins
Image
We are all atheists about most of the gods that societies have ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further.
Richard Dawkins
Image
Matthew and Luke handle the problem differently, by deciding that Jesus must have been born in Bethlehem after all. But they get him there by different routes.
Richard Dawkins
Image
Ironically, I originally wrote the tweet with Jews and thought, That might give offense. And so I thought I better change it.
Richard Dawkins
Image
My personal feeling is that understanding evolution led me to atheism.
Richard Dawkins
Image
We humans are an extremely important manifestation of the replication bomb, because it is through us - through our brains, our symbolic culture and our technology - that the explosion may proceed to the next stage and reverberate through deep space.
Richard Dawkins
Image
Along with William Shakespeare and Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin is Britain's greatest gift to the world. He was our greatest thinker.
Richard Dawkins
Image
Any belief in miracles is flat contradictory not just to the facts of science but to the spirit of science.
Richard Dawkins
Image
The only watchmaker is the blind forces of physics.
Richard Dawkins
Image
Religions do make claims about the universe--the same kinds of claims that scientists make, except they're usually false.
Richard Dawkins
Image
You can't even begin to understand biology, you can't understand life, unless you understand what it's all there for, how it arose - and that means evolution.
Richard Dawkins
Image
In two senses: One is that you cannot go on the street and shout that you are an atheist, the other is that you are never given the intellectual framework for calling your faith into question.
Richard Dawkins
Image
The whole of technology depends on a scientific background, and of course technology can be used for evil purposes. You can't blame science for that.
Richard Dawkins

Humans have more moral responsibility perhaps, because they are capable of reasoning.
