Nuggets from Cosmos, Creator, and Human Destiny—The Difference It Makes

Richard Dawkins dares to say, “I show that all the alternatives to Darwinism that have ever been suggested are in principle incapable of . . . explaining the organized complexity of life. . . . My reasoning, if it is correct, tells us something important about life everywhere in the universe.” If it is correct? He acknowledges that this is just a theory, and a shaky one at that—but that doesn’t prevent him from proceeding as though it were true because he has no other hope to explain life on earth. It must be correct—this is the best his atheism can offer—and atheism is the one thing he will not abandon under any circumstance.
