Richard Dawkins
“The best scientists can do is fail to disprove things while pointing to how hard they tried”
Richard Dawkins, The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution

Richard Dawkins
“Molecular genetic evidence (see Chapter 10 for the nature of this kind of evidence) shows that the closest living cousins of whales are hippos, then pigs, then ruminants. Even more surprisingly, the molecular evidence shows that hippos are more closely related to whales than they are to the cloven-hoofed animals”
Richard Dawkins, The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution

Richard Dawkins
“Oxygen flooded into the atmosphere as a pollutant, even a poison, until natural selection shaped living things to thrive on the stuff and, indeed, suffocate without it.”
Richard Dawkins, The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution

“Matriarchy is a time-honored staple for any writer looking to invent an exotic society.”
Marie Brennan

Richard Dawkins
“Evolution sceptic: Professor Haldane, even given the billions of years that you say were available for evolution, I simply cannot believe it is possible to go from a single cell to a complicated human body, with its trillions of cells organized into bones and muscles and nerves, a heart that pumps without ceasing for decades, miles and miles of blood vessels and kidney tubules, and a brain capable of thinking and talking and feeling. JBS: But madam, you did it yourself. And it only took you nine months.”
Richard Dawkins, The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution
