The idea of a divine creator belittles the elegant reality of the universe. Richard Dawkins
Richard Dawkins quote: "The book is true, and if evidence seems to condtradict it, it..."
The book is true, and if evidence seems to condtradict it, it is the evidence that must be thrown out not the book. Richard Dawkins

Examples of memes are tunes, ideas, catch-phrases, clothes fashions, ways of making pots or of building arches. Just as genes propagate themselves in the gene pool by leaping from body to body via sperms or eggs, so memes propagate themselves in the meme pool by leaping from brain to brain via a process which, in the broad sense, can be called imitation. Richard Dawkins
There are all sorts of things that would be comforting. I expect an injection of morphine would be comforting... But to say that something is comforting is not to say that it's true. Richard Dawkins
You could give Aristotle a tutorial. And you could thrill him to the core of his being ... Such is the privilege of living after Newton, Darwin, Einstein, Planck, Watson, Crick and their colleagues. Richard Dawkins
