Text Quotes
If you are in the camp I am, one place where science and faith could touch each other is in the investigation of supposedly miraculous events. (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
It is an absurd law [Section 295A of the Indian penal code] but also extremely dangerous because it gives fanatics, whether they are Hindus, Catholics or Muslims, a licence to be offended. It also allows people who are in dispute with you to make up false accusations of blasphemy. (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
The psychologist Elizabeth Loftus has shown great courage, in the face of spiteful vested interests, in demonstrating how easy it is for people to concoct memories that are entirely false but which seem, to the victim, every bit as real as true memories. (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
A guided missile corrects its trajectory as it flies, homing in, say, on the heat of a jet plane’s exhaust. A great improvement on a simple ballistic shell, it still cannot discriminate particular targets. It could not zero in on a designated New York skyscraper if launched from as far away as Boston. (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
I have a strong feeling that the subject of evolution is beautiful without the excuse of creationists needing to be bashed. (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
The universe doesn’t owe us condolence or consolation; it doesn’t owe us a nice warm feeling inside. (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
As a liberal, I would hesitate to propose a blanket ban on any style of dress because of the implications for individual liberty and freedom of choice. (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
Don’t kid yourself that you’re going to live again after you’re dead; you’re not. Make the most of the one life you’ve got. Live it to the full. (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
Why did God make tigers so good at catching prey, and at the same time make prey so good at getting away from tigers? You’d think that if God wanted one thing or the other to happen he’d have engineered it rather better. Maybe he enjoyed the spectator sport? (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
In the original introduction to the word meme in the last chapter of ‘The Selfish Gene,’ I did actually use the metaphor of a ‘virus.’ So when anybody talks about something going viral on the Internet, that is exactly what a meme is, and it looks as though the word has been appropriated for a subset of that. (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
God stands out in the universe as the most glaring of all superfluous sore thumbs (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
I like to think ‘The God Delusion’ is a humorous book. I think, actually, it’s full of laughs. And people who describe it as a polarizing book or as an aggressive book, it’s just that very often they haven’t read it. (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
There is no reason for believing that any sort of gods exist, and quite good reasons for believing that they do not exist and never have. It has all been a gigantic waste of time and a waste of life. It would be a joke of cosmic proportions if it weren’t so tragic. (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
God is the answer to all of those How must it have come to be questions (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
I think it’s misleading to use a word like ‘God’ in the way Einstein did. I’m sorry that Einstein did. I think he was asking for trouble, and he certainly was misunderstood. (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
From my perspective, God cannot be completely contained within nature, and therefore God’s existence is outside of science’s ability to really weigh in. (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
It is possible in medicine, even when you intend to do good, to do harm instead. That is why science thrives on actively encouraging criticism rather than stifling it. (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
I was never much bothered about moral questions like, ‘How could there be a good God when there’s so much evil in the world?’ (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
Publishers like a good buzz, and negative responses sell books just as well as positive ones (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
Faith is one of the world’s great evils, comparable to the smallpox virus but harder to eradicate. (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
I wouldn’t want to have the thought police going to people’s homes, dictating what they teach their children. I don’t want to be Big Brotherish. I would hate that. (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
Of course you can have an opinion about Islam without having read Qur’an. You don’t have to read Mein Kampf to have an opinion about Nazism. (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
Every night of our lives, we dream, and our brain concocts visions which are, at least until we wake up, highly convincing. Most of us have had experiences which are verging on hallucination. It shows the power of the brain to knock up illusions. (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
We have to find our own purposes in life, which are not derived directly from our scientific history. (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
In other words Luke’s story is historically impossible and internally inconsistent. He lied to fudge the fulfillment of Micah’s prophesy and to provide a villain to play off Jesus in his fictitious drama. Matter flows from place to place and momentarily comes together to be you. Some people find that thought disturbing. I find the reality thrilling. (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
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 Quotes)
I'm not one of those who wants to purge our society of our Christian history (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
The essence of life is statistical improbability on a colossal scale (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
Mutation is random; natural selection is the very opposite of random (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
Human psychology has a near universal tendency to let belief be coloured by desire (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
