Richard Dawkins
Image
The fact that life evolved out of nearly nothing, some 10 billion years after the universe evolved out of literally nothing, is a fact so staggering that I would be mad to attempt words to do it justice.
Richard Dawkins
Image
Religion teaches the dangerous nonsense that death is not the end.
Richard Dawkins

Richard Dawkins
Image
Human beings are just gene machines.
Richard Dawkins
