Blog 12 Richard #Dawkins

DARWIN pic colour

I am intrigued by the apparently ongoing controversy that my fellow scientist, Richard Dawkins, appears to be attracting in the modern age. Having read his works via the miraculous medium of Einsteinian space/time transference I have to say I admire his clear thinking and explicitly scientific methods and deductions. Evidently however these are still not accepted by a large proportion of those interested in such matters, which I suppose will always be the way with forward thinking intellects. Mr Dawkins is evidently a tireless and forceful promoter of his views, which is something I admire, since I never was. It is precisely because I had no desire to be involved in such controversy in my time that I hesitated so long before publishing ‘On The Origin Of Species’, and even longer before releasing the Addendum to that work, which I knew would only serve to inflame tensions between believers and non-believers. I have always hated dispute, but I suppose it is a permanent condition of the human race.
