My computer is a very complex gadget and it was designed by many designers, so why must the universe have only a single designer and not many designers?
Richard DawkinsBut, however many ways there may be of being alive, it is certain that there are vastly more ways of being dead, or rather not alive.
Richard DawkinsIf complex organisms demand an explanation, so does a complex designer. And it's no solution to raise the theologian's plea that God (or the Intelligent Designer) is simply immune to the normal demands of scientific explanation. To do so would be to shoot yourself in the foot. You cannot have it both ways. Either ID belongs in the science classroom, in which case it must submit to the discipline required of a scientific hypothesis. Or it does not, in which case, get it out of the science classroom and send it back to church, where it belongs.
Richard DawkinsWhen we started out and we were talking about the origins of the universe and the physical constants, I provided what I thought were cogent arguments against a supernatural intelligent designer. But it does seem to me to be a worthy idea.
