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.

  • great video thanks

  • some sweet info here

  • @007TruthSeeker hahaha what rubbish. Classic religious comment. Void of any reason, logic, facts or evidence. Shame on you.

  • Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.

  • @giriisindahouse

    Personal experience cannot be corroborated, and is fallible.

    It is far more likely that you experienced a delusion (helped and reinforced by the fact that you actually believe this crap), than the laws of physics were suspended in your favour.

    I have no doubt that events occur around the world that could not currently be explained, but if I saw one, I wouldn't place my own explanation on it. Especially not one based on human superstition and mythology.

  • @leftovers0 Allrite dude. Say whatever you want. Wait till you SAW one. Your idea of the world will come tumbling down. I'm telling this from personal experience.

  • @giriisindahouse

    Wait, you believe in ghosts!?

    Listen, I only want to help you. A wise guy told me once that "Those who believe in ghosts, will draw unwanted focus from invisible space-goblins!".

    You can't see them, touch them, smell them. Occasionally if you hear a creaking in your house, thats probably them. Sometimes they open cupboards and turn on TVs when you're not around. But they will find you, mark my words.

  • I have no problem with Atheists who don't believe in God. Its something I don't know and don't care. But I do have problem with Atheists who don't believe in ghosts. In fact its a big problem for you guys. All I can say to you guys is what a wise guy told me once "Those who don't believe in them will attract their attention".
