Richard Dawkins is a British ethologist, evolutionary biologist and popular science author. He was formerly Professor for Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University. He was voted Britain's leading public intellectual by readers of Prospect magazine and was named one of Time Magazine's "100 Most Influential People" for 2007.

Dawkins came to prominence with his 1976 book "The Selfish Gene", which popularised the gene-centred view of evolution and introduced the term "meme". He is a prominent critic of creationism and intelligent design. In his 1986 book "The Blind Watchmaker", he argued against the watchmaker analogy, an argument for the existence of a supernatural creator based upon the complexity of living organisms. Instead, he described evolutionary processes as analogous to a blind watchmaker. He has since written several popular science books, and makes regular television and radio appearances, predominantly discussing these topics.

Richard Dawkins is an atheist, secular humanist, sceptic, scientific rationalist, and supporter of the Brights movement. In his 2006 book "The God Delusion", he contends that a supernatural creator almost certainly does not exist and that faith qualifies as a delusion − as a fixed false belief.

God almost definitely does not exist (thumbs that up)

@fareedfilms

If Science is a religion, then so be it. At least it has logic, instead of a bloodthirsty god that endorses ignorance, and killing those that are different than us.

Look everyone, I just judged a religion by it's theology.

[Peristerygr]

I have a question! The only existent religion is Islam? So why science vs religion turns to "atheism"(Neonazism, Third Possiton, Neofascism, also are atheistic ideologies regardless if they occationally play religious -as utterly populists;) against Islam?

[Peristerygr]

@ThePeacefulAtheistt Their goal is to ban muslims just for being such. But political correctenese, egalitarianism, human rights, and equality prevents them! Plus they are uttery populists so they try not to seem racists or discriminatory and that makes them say all nonsenses they say!

[Peristerygr]

@111E982a So nun clothes are ok but Hijab is not -both cover the head in the same degree! So if a muslim woman wishes NOT to remove the hijab -for whatever reasons- she is a brainwashed dump or terrorist and a nun is a respectful free woman who is dedicated to God on her free will!? And it has nothing to do with the religion of the woman which wears the rug, but with accuisition? What is going to be the answer: something completely irrelevant, complete nonsenses or insults?

@ThePeacefulAtheistt are you fucking dumb or what? at least she can remove the sunglasses, but because that muslim refuses to remove her burqa, that's why she got accquitted. Jesus christ, you're dumb.

[ThePeacefulAtheistt]

@111E982a If a nune wears sun glasses you can't see the most of the face, just like by muslim women.

Why not ban everything that covers the face?

[111E982a]

@ThePeacefulAtheistt nonono, you should read the news yourself, and besides you can see a nun's face, but you can't see someone's face when wearing a burqa. that's the main point and that's how she got accquitted.
