Much as we might wish to believe otherwise, universal love and the welfare of the species as a whole are concepts which simply do not make evolutionary sense.
Richard Dawkins
Image
If it is solely an evolutionary convenience, there is really no such thing as good or evil.
Richard Dawkins
Image
I do disapprove very strongly of labelling children, especially young children, as something like 'Catholic children' or 'Protestant children' or 'Islamic children.'
Richard Dawkins
Image
Maybe somewhere in some other galaxy there is a super-intelligence so colossal that from our point of view it would be a god. But it cannot have been the sort of God that we need to explain the origin of the universe, because it cannot have been there that early.
Richard Dawkins
Image
My mind is open to the most wonderful range of future possibilities, which I cannot even dream about.
Richard Dawkins
Image
In the case of Stalinism, people actually distorted science, because it was for the good of the Communist Party.
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
Intelligent life on a planet comes of age when it first works out the reason for its own existence.
Richard Dawkins
Image
The only watchmaker is the blind forces of physics.
Richard Dawkins
Image
Leaders who forbid their followers to use effective contraceptive methods express a preference for natural methods of population limitation, and a natural method is exactly what they are going to get. It is called starvation.
Richard Dawkins
Image
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
Image
There is something so mysterious that it is almost like God. God is in the equations. God is in the fundamental constants. And that's fine. I mean, that's just redefinition of that which we find mysterious at the basis of the universe.
Richard Dawkins
Image
If children were taught to question and think through their beliefs, instead of being taught the superior virtue of faith without question, it is a good bet that there would be no suicide bombers.
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
It's very likely that most mammals have consciousness, and probably birds, too.
Richard Dawkins
Image
Natural selection is all about the differential success of rival DNA in getting itself transmitted vertically in the species archives.
Richard Dawkins
Image
I am not an enthusiast for diversity of opinion where facts are concerned.
Richard Dawkins
Image
If I were God wanting to make a human being, I would do it by a more direct way rather than by evolution. Why deliberately set it up in the one way which makes it look as though you don't exist?
Richard Dawkins
Image
I read in the paper today the list of the most popular boys' names in Britain. The first was Jack, the second was Mohammed. That makes me feel a little bit worried.

Design cannot precede evolution and therefore cannot underlie the universe.
