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.

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.

@Canlander7 Why are you trying to make a case for these institutions? Simply because they are in this book?!?! Animal sacrifice...c'mon Canlander think for yourself. And the Shanidar fossils and Dmanisi fossil show definit signs of compassion due to the immense amount of healed wounds on their bodies. The fact that they are healed means that someone had to care for them while they were alive. Many many Neandertal fossils have been recovered with signs of healed wounds.

@Canlander7 - "How is the slave owner to treat a slave?" you ask. Haven't you read the Bible? First, nail the slave's ear to a door (Ex 21.6). And you can sell your daughter into slavery (Ex 21.7). Do you plan on doing that?

Disobedient slaves, SAYS JESUS, should be SAVAGELY WHIPPED (Luke 12:46-7). "Good" slaves, Jesus says, should be whipped less severely (Luke 12:48).

[chinopisces]

@kingpharaohtsar: Wow. You are so monumentally stupid.

If you cannot even use logic to realize why one would want to remain within grammatical standards, why the fuck should I regard you as credible at all? How arrogant to say that 'we' don't apply the rules of grammar. Obviously, YOU do not, but why should we regard your opinion anyway?

If you had a single brain cell, you'd look at my profile and realize that I'm not a theist.

Do yourself a favor and get the fuck out of here.

[kingpharaohtsar]
