Richard Dawkins believes sciences ability to admit ignorance is one of its greatest strengths. On the flip side, he proposes that faith remains arrogant and all too certain of its validity without any rational set of proofs.

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.

@BelieveandtrustJesus Says the brainwashed sheep

[thenofxer]

@dkthg Sorry bud, I can't find any evidence:( 

[thenofxer]

@BelieveandtrustJesus A theory by definition is supported by evidence. You clearly do not understand the validity of a theory. And even if everything science knows is inncorect by some aspect. it is 100 times better that the ancient superstitions that support sexism rascism, infantacide, rape, murder, slavery. I could literally go on past my character limit. I really wish there was a way to make you understand. Actually i would settle for just the de-brainwashing. Good luck in your wasted life.

[thenofxer]

@BelieveandtrustJesus Not a single word you have said has any truth to it... I have no idea where to begin. Your religion is keeping the human race from evolving. If there was a god He surly wouldn't stand for my blasphemy, and most certainly he would give at least one piece of evidence in regard to his/her existence. YOU ARE WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE WORLD! lying to our children and spreading your jesus filth! "you can do what you want now because a dude was murdered along time ago" NONSENSE.

@BelieveandtrustJesus

sorry I forgot it's impossible to demonstrate FACTS to religious nutcases.

@BelieveandtrustJesus

Believing in Jesus, a made up story that plagiarises old pagan myths is a faith, you moron.

If you think science is a faith or lies, don't use a computer, a car, a TV, a plane, electricity or any modern appliance made thanks to Science.

You are braindead!

If there is a god please strike the dumbass below.
