We think we know that chimpanzees are higher animals and earthworms are lower, we think we've always known what that means, and we think evolution ma… - Richard Dawkins

The fact that we slowly apprehend our world, rather than suddenly discover it, should not subtract from its wonder.

Ben Stein: What do think is the possibility that intelligent design might turn out to be the answer to some issues in genetics, or in evolution?
Richard Dawkins: Well, it could come about in the following way: it could be that at some earlier time, somewhere in the universe, a civilization evolved by probably some kind of Darwinian means to a very, very high level of technology, and designed a form of life that they seeded onto, perhaps, this planet. Now that is a possibility, and an intriguing possibility. And I suppose it's possible that you might find evidence for that if you look at the details of our chemistry, molecular biology, you might find a signature of some sort of designer, and that designer could well be a higher intelligence from elsewhere in the universe. But that higher intelligence would itself have had to have come about by some explicable, or ultimately explicable, process. It couldn't have just jumped into existence spontaneously. That's the point.

این نوعی توهم است اگر باور کنیم هرقدر ایمان به نتایج نفرت‌انگیزی بینجامد، باید به آن احترام گذاشت، فقط به این خاطر که ایمان است.
