― Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion

“The only watchmaker is the blind forces of physics.”
― Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion

“Real life seeks the gentle slopes at the back of Mount Improbable, while creationists are blind to all but the daunting precipice at the front.”
― Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion
