DVD: „From frog to a prince“ 4:28
'en: And, of course, the puzzling thing is where does all this complexity come from? Where does all this information come from? It cannot come about by chance. It’s absolutely inconceivable that you could get something as complicated as a bird, and as well designed as a bird, or a human, or a hedgehog, coming about by chance. That’s absolutely out. Because to get from nothing, from no complexity, no information, to the extreme complexity of a modern living thing in one step of chance couldn’t possibly happen. That would be like throwing a dice a thousand times and getting six every single time. It’s out of the question. But if you allow a little bit of luck in any one generation, and then a little bit of luck in the next generation, little bit of luck in the next generation, by cumulatively adding this luck step by step by step by step, you can work from any degree of simplicity to any degree of complexity. All you need is enough time. So where’s it come from? It’s come from gradual incremental process of evolution by natural selection.

'en: (Edge Foundation): What do you believe is true even though you cannot prove it? (Dawkins): I believe that all life, all intelligence, all creativity and all “design” anywhere in the universe, is the direct or indirect product of Darwinian natural selection. It follows that design comes late in the universe, after a period of Darwinian evolution. Design cannot precede evolution and therefore cannot underlie the universe.

z River Out of Eden: A Darwinian View of Life, 1995
'en: The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil and no good, nothing but blind pitiless indifference.

The God Delusion, s. 59
'en: The presence or absence of a creative super-intelligence is unequivocally a scientific question, even if it is not in practice - or not yet - a decided one.
Potvrdené výroky

'en: Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence.
Podobné: Viera znamená presvedčenie, že isté tvrdenia sú pravdivé - napriek tomu, že dôkazy ich pravdivosti sú nedostatočné alebo vyvracajúce jeho pravdivosť. (Dan Barker)
