"Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence." -- Richard Dawkins

RE: Dawkins
I have hundreds of quotes by Dawkins, perhaps thousands by others ... I like this forum
 "We should take astrology seriously. No, I don't mean we should believe in it. I am talking about fighting it seriously instead of humouring it as a piece of harmless fun. There's this thing called being so open-minded your brains drop out." Richard Dawkins Kyu |

RE: Dawkins
"What is it with cheese? American friends have suggested to me a connection with the notoriously liberal state of Wisconsin -- home of the FFRF (Freedom from Religion Foundation) and centre of the dairy industry -- but surely there must be more to it than that? And how about those French 'cheese-eating surrender-monkeys'? What is the semiotic iconography of cheese?" -- Richard Dawkins on hate mail

RE: Dawkins
My favorite Dawkins quote is in my signature.
I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied with not understanding the world. -Richard Dawkins

RE: Dawkins
"Religious people split into three main groups when faced with science. I shall label them the "know-nothings", the "know-alls", and the "no-contests"
"There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden. There is no evidence for it, but you can't prove that there aren't any, so shouldn't we be agnostic with respect to fairies?" These are quite good quotes I think. |

RE: Dawkins
I always wonder what Dawkins means by no-contests? What is it believers who don't want a contest? Or believers who think there is no-contest and they are obviously right, but in that case how are they different to the know-alls? Could someone clear that up for me - what does the "no-contests" part mean?
Is it like "There's No-Contest....we're obviously right!" Or is it like they don't want a contest - they don't wanna argue about it...or..... ..other? "You can do what you will, but in any given moment of your life you can will only one definite thing and absolutely nothing other than that one thing." - Arthur Schopenhauer
