I suppose if you look back to your early childhood you accept everything people tell you, and that includes a heavy dose of irrationality – youre told about tooth fairies and Father Christmas and things. – Richard Dawkins
A universe with a God would look quite different from a universe without one. A physics, a biology where there is a God is bound to look different. So the most basic claims of religion are scientific. Religion is a scientific theory. – Richard Dawkins
