One of the things that is wrong with religion is that it teaches us to be satisfied with answers which are not really answers at all. – Richard Dawkins

Design can never be an ultimate explanation for anything. It can only be a proximate explanation. A plane or a car is explained by a designer but thats because the designer himself, the engineer, is explained by natural selection. – Richard Dawkins
