Text Quotes
If children understand that beliefs should be substantiated with evidence, as opposed to tradition, authority, revelation or faith, they will automatically work out for themselves that they are atheists  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) I am one of those scientists who feels that it is no longer enough just to get on and do science. We have to devote a significant proportion of our time and resources to defending it from deliberate attack from organised ignorance  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) 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 Quotes) At least the fundamentalists haven't tried to dilute their message. Their faith is exposed for what it is for all to see  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) Complex, statistically improbable things are by their nature more difficult to explain than simple, statistically probable things  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) Faith is the great cop out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) For the first half of geological time our ancestors were bacteria. Most creatures still are bacteria, and each one of our trillions of cells is a colony of bacteria  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) God exists, if only in the form of a meme with high survival value, or infective power, in the environment provided by human culture  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied with not understanding the world  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) Intelligent life on a planet comes of age when it first works out the reason for its own existence  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) It has become almost a cliche to remark that nobody boasts of ignorance of literature, but it is socially acceptable to boast ignorance of science and proudly claim incompetence in mathematics  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) Many of us saw religion as harmless nonsense. Beliefs might lack all supporting evidence but, we thought, if people needed a crutch for consolation, where's the harm? September 11th changed all that  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) Nothing is wrong with peace and love. It is all the more regrettable that so many of Christ's followers seem to disagree  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) Of course in science there are things that are open to doubt and things need to be discussed. But among the things that science does know, evolution is about as certain as anything we know  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) One of the things that is wrong with religion is that it teaches us to be satisfied with answers which are not really answers at all  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) Personally, I rather look forward to a computer program winning the world chess championship. Humanity needs a lesson in humility  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) Religion is about turning untested belief into unshakable truth through the power of institutions and the passage of time  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) Science coverage could be improved by the recognition that science is timeless, and therefore science stories should not need to be pegged to an item in the news  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) The enlightenment is under threat. So is reason. So is truth. So is science, especially in the schools of America  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) The meme for blind faith secures its own perpetuation by the simple unconscious expedient of discouraging rational inquiry  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden. There is no evidence for it, but you can't prove that there aren't any, so shouldn't we be agnostic with respect to fairies?  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) By all means let's be open minded, but not so open minded that our brains drop out  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) It would be intolerant if I advocated the banning of religion, but of course I never have  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) Do not indoctrinate your children. Teach them how to think for themselves, how to evaluate evidence, and how to disagree with you  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) Anybody who objects to cloning on principle has to answer to all the identical twins in the world who might be insulted by the thought that there is something offensive about their very existence. Clones are simply identical twins  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) False beliefs can be every bit as consoling as true ones, right up until the moment of disillusionment  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) I do feel visceral revulsion at the burka because for me it is a symbol of the oppression of women  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) Our subjective judgment of what seems like a good bet is irrelevant to what is actually a good bet  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) What is interesting about the scientific world view is that it is true, inspiring, remarkable and that it unites a whole lot of phenomena under a single heading  (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
