Text Quotes
Selfish genes actually explain altruistic individuals, and to me that’s crystal-clear (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
Saddam Hussein could have provided irreplaceable help to future historians of the Iran/Iraq war, of the invasion of Kuwait, and of the subsequent era of sanctions culminating in the current invasion. (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
Religion is capable of driving people to such dangerous folly that faith seems to me to qualify as a kind of mental illness. (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
As Darwin himself was at pains to point out, natural selection is all about differential survival within species, not between them. (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
What Darwinian theory shows us is that all human races are extremely close to each other. None of them is in any sense ancestral to any other; none of them is more primitive than any other. We are all modern races of exactly equal status, evolutionarily speaking. (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
The obvious objections to the execution of Saddam Hussein are valid and well aired. His death will provoke violent strife between Sunni and Shia Muslims, and between Iraqis in general and the American occupation forces. (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
In the 1920s and 1930s, scientists from both the political left and right would not have found the idea of designer babies particularly dangerous - though, of course, they would not have used that phrase. (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
Bereavement is terrible, of course. And when somebody you love dies, it’s a time for reflection, a time for memory, a time for regret. (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
A universe with a creator would be a totally different kind of universe, scientifically speaking, than one without. (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
I’ve seen [Lalla Ward] episodes of Doctor Who. They’re good, at least partly because the scripts were written by Douglas Adams. (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
Compassionate doctors sometimes lie to patients about the severity of their condition, and it is not always wrong to do so. (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
I don’t give a damn for anybody’s opinion, I only care about the facts. So I’m not an enthusiast for diversity of opinion where factual matters are concerned. (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
Such is the breathtaking speciesism of our Christian-inspired attitudes, the abortion of a single human zygote can arouse more moral solicitude and righteous indignation than the vivasection of any number of intelligent adult chimpanzees! The only reason we can be comfortable with such a double standard is that the intermediates between humans and chimps are all dead. (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
There are many very educated people who are religious, but they’re not creationists (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
The interesting question would be whether there’s a Darwinian process, a kind of selection process whereby some memes are more likely to spread than others, because people like them, because they’re popular, because they’re catchy or whatever it might be. (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
I am trying to call attention to the elephant in the room that everybody is too polite - or too devout - to notice: religion, and specifically the devaluing effect that religion has on human life. (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
Science has taught us, against all intuition, that apparently solid things like crystals and rocks are really almost entirely composed of empty space. And the familiar illustration is the nucleus of an atom is a fly in the middle of a sports stadium, and the next atom is in the next sports stadium. (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
Indeed, organizing atheists has been compared to herding cats, because they tend to think independently and will not conform to authority. But a good first step would be to build up a critical mass of those willing to ‘come out,’ thereby encouraging others to do so. Even if they can’t be herded, cats in sufficient numbers can make a lot of noise and they cannot be ignored. (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
Darwin gives courage to the rest of science that we shall end up understanding literally everything, springing from almost nothing - a thought extremely hard to comprehend and believe. (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
It is time to stop the mealy-mouthed euphemisms: ‘Nationalists’, ‘Loyalists’, ‘Communities’, ‘Ethnic Groups’, ‘Cultures’, ‘Civilizations’. Religions is the word you need. Religions is the word you are struggling hypocritially to avoid. (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
Evil is a miscellaneous collection of nasty things that nasty people do (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Evolution is just a theory? Well, so is gravity and I don’t see you jumping out of buildings. (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
It’s a truly disgusting idea that the creator of the universe - capable of inventing the laws of physics and designing the evolutionary process - that this protégé of supernatural intellect couldn’t think of a better way to forgive our sins than to have himself tortured to death. (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
My eyes are constantly wide open to the extraordinary fact of existence. Not just human existence, but the existence of life and how this breathtakingly powerful process, which is natural selection, has managed to take the very simple facts of physics and chemistry and build them up to redwood trees and humans. (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
Let’s get up off our knees, stop cringing before bogeymen and virtual fathers, face reality, and help science to do something constructive about human suffering. (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)
Faith is belief without evidence and reason; coincidentally that’s also the definition of delusion. (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
Religious faith not only lacks evidence, its independence from evidence is its pride and joy, shouted from the rooftops. (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
Faith rests squarely upon reason, but with the added component of revelation (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
