"Clinton Richard Dawkins, FRS, FRSL (born 26 March 1941), known as Richard Dawkins, is a British ethologist, evolutionary biologist and author. He is an emeritus fellow of New College, Oxford,[1] and was the University of Oxford's Professor for Public Understanding of Science from 1995 until 2008.[2]
Dawkins came to prominence with his 1976 book The Selfish Gene, which popularised the gene-centered view of evolution and introduced the term meme. In 1982 he introduced an influential concept into evolutionary biology, presented in his book The Extended Phenotype, that the phenotypic effects of a gene are not necessarily limited to an organism's body, but can stretch far into the environment, including the bodies of other organisms."

Of COURSE he is. He's a biologist, and from what I understand, a darned good one at that.

someone has to fight severe ignorance due to brainwashing at early ages, for the betterment of humanity.



Its OK for ignorance to hold a sword high and fight to keep our children stupid, but when one man chooses to fight ignorance, he gets a bad rap

It's funny when folks degrade Dawkins considering he is more interested in mankind and solving it's problems than most here put together.

Hes a good evolution explainer but not a scientist or knows anything from religion he rather criticise something he doesn't know and then when he is in a debate he confirms the religion a real fake..
