Richard Dawkins Quotes About Universe

• El mundo y el universo son lugares extremadamente bellos, y cuanto más comprendemos sobre ellos, más bellos nos parecen.

  Richard Dawkins

  Beautiful, Doe, World

  "The Vision Thing". Interview with Sheena McDonald for Channel 4 (UK), www.thirdworldtraveler.com. August 15, 1994.

• Tras haber dormido durante cien millones de siglos, por fin hemos abierto los ojos en un planeta suntuoso, resplandeciente de color y rebosante de vida. Dentro de unas décadas volveremos a cerrar los ojos. ¿No es una forma noble e iluminada de pasar nuestro breve tiempo bajo el sol trabajar para comprender el universo y cómo hemos llegado a despertar en él? Así respondo cuando me preguntan -con sorprendente frecuencia- por qué me molesto en levantarme por las mañanas.

  Richard Dawkins

  Vida, Gratitud, Mañana

• On one planet [earth], and possibly only one planet in the entire universe, molecules that would normally make nothing more complicated than a chunk of rock, gather themselves together into chunks of rock-sized matter of such staggering complexity that they are capable of running, jumping, swimming, flying, seeing, hearing, capturing and eating other such animated chunks of complexity; capable in some cases of thinking and feeling, and falling in love with yet other chunks of complex matter.

  Richard Dawkins

  Running, Falling In Love, Swimming

• El universo que observamos tiene precisamente las propiedades que deberíamos esperar si, en el fondo, no existiera ningún diseño, ningún propósito, ningún mal, ningún bien, nada más que una indiferencia ciega y despiadada.

  Richard Dawkins

  Divertido, Sarcástico, Ateo

  Río fuera del Edén cap. 4 (1995)

• The fact that life evolved out of nearly nothing, some 10 billion years after the universe evolved out of literally nothing, is a fact so staggering that I would be mad to attempt words to do it justice.

  Richard Dawkins

  Years, Justice, Mad

• I believe that an orderly universe, one indifferent to human preoccupations, in which everything has an explanation even if we still have a long way to go before we find it, is a more beautiful, more wonderful place than a universe tricked out with capricious ad hoc magic.

  Richard Dawkins

  Beautiful, Atheist, Believe

• The moral law is a reason to think of God as plausible - not just a God who sets the universe in motion but a God who cares about human beings, because we seem uniquely amongst creatures on the planet to have this far-developed sense of morality.

• The idea of a divine creator belittles the elegant reality of the universe.

• Something pretty mysterious had to give rise to the origin of the universe.

  Richard Dawkins

  Giving, Mysterious, Universe

  "Religion and Atheism". "Q&A" with Tony Jones, www.abc.net.au. April 9, 2012.

• There is something so mysterious that it is almost like God. God is in the equations. God is in the fundamental constants. And that's fine. I mean, that's just redefinition of that which we find mysterious at the basis of the universe.

  Richard Dawkins

  Mean, Fundamentals, Mysterious

  "Faith and Reason" Interview, www.pbs.org.

• It's a truly disgusting idea that the creator of the universe - capable of inventing the laws of physics and designing the evolutionary process - that this protégé of supernatural intellect couldn't think of a better way to forgive our sins than to have himself tortured to death.

  Richard Dawkins

  Interview with Chip Rowe, www.playboy.com. August 20, 2012.

• Why do more than 40 percent of Americans think that the Universe began after the domestication of the dog?

  Richard Dawkins

  Dog, Atheist, Thinking

• 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

  Atheism, Looks, Different

• las cosas malas, como las buenas, no ocurren más a menudo de lo que deberían por casualidad. el universo no tiene mente, ni sentimientos, ni personalidad, así que no hace las cosas para herirte o para complacerte. las cosas malas ocurren porque las cosas ocurren.

  Richard Dawkins

  Hurt, Order, Personality

  Richard Dawkins (2012). “The Magic of Reality: How We Know What's Really True”, p.226, Simon and Schuster

• The total amount of suffering per year in the natural world is beyond all decent contemplation. During the minute that it takes me to compose this sentence, thousands of animals are being eaten alive, many others are running for their lives, whimpering with fear, others are slowly being devoured from within by rasping parasites, thousands of all species are dying of starvation, thirst, and disease. The universe that we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but pitiless indifference.

  Richard Dawkins

  Running, Animal, Years

  "River Out of Eden: A Darwinian View of Life". Book by Richard Dawkins, 1995.

• Si el universo fuera sólo electrones y genes egoístas, las tragedias sin sentido ... son exactamente lo que deberíamos esperar, junto con una buena fortuna igualmente sin sentido. Un universo así no tendría ni malas ni buenas intenciones ... El universo que observamos tiene precisamente las propiedades que deberíamos esperar si, en el fondo, no existiera ningún diseño, ningún propósito, ningún mal ni ningún bien, nada más que una indiferencia ciega y despiadada.

  Richard Dawkins

  Selfish, Evil, Design

• Algunos físicos resuelven el problema de la necesidad de constantes físicas finamente ajustadas... invocando el principio antrópico, diciendo, bueno, aquí estamos, existimos, tenemos que estar en el tipo de universo capaz de darnos origen. Eso en sí mismo es, creo, insatisfactorio, y como bien dice John Lennox, algunos físicos lo resuelven con la idea del multiverso, la idea de que nuestro universo es sólo uno de muchos universos.

  Richard Dawkins

  Pensar, Ideas, Dar

• We animals are the most complicated things in the known universe.

  Richard Dawkins

• To illustrate the vain conceit that the universe must be somehow pre-ordained for us, because we are so well-suited to live in it, he [Douglas Adams] mimed a wonderfully funny imitation of a puddle of water, fitting itself snugly into a depression in the ground, the depression uncannily being exactly the same shape as the puddle.

  Richard Dawkins

  Water, Religion, Puddles

• Si todas las pruebas del universo se inclinaran a favor del creacionismo, yo sería el primero en admitirlo y cambiaría inmediatamente de opinión. Sin embargo, tal y como están las cosas, todas las pruebas disponibles (y hay muchísimas) favorecen la evolución.

  Richard Dawkins

  Mind, Would Be, Firsts

  Richard Dawkins (2008). “The God Delusion”, p.19, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt

• ¿Por qué alguien se sentiría intimidado por meras palabras? Es decir, ni yo ni ningún otro ateo que conozca amenazamos nunca con la violencia. Nunca amenazamos con estrellar aviones contra rascacielos. Nunca amenazamos con bombas suicidas. Somos gente muy amable. Todo lo que hacemos es utilizar palabras para hablar de cosas como el cosmos, el origen del universo, la evolución, el origen de la vida. ¿De qué hay que asustarse? Es sólo una opinión.

  Richard Dawkins

  Suicidio, Significado, Origen De La Vida

• The universe doesn't owe us condolence or consolation; it doesn't owe us a nice warm feeling inside.

  Richard Dawkins

  Nice, Condolences, Feelings

• I mean I think that when you've got a big brain, when you find yourself planted in a world with a brain big enough to understand quite a lot of what you see around you, but not everything, you naturally fall to thinking about the deep mysteries. Where do we come from? Where does the world come from? Where does the universe come from?

  Richard Dawkins

  Fall, Mean, Thinking

  "Richard Dawkins on the Truth of Evolution". "NOW with Bill Moyers", billmoyers.com. 2004.

• Hence, at the moment of the creation of the universe, God could also have activated evolution, with full knowledge of how it would turn out, perhaps even including our having this conversation. The idea that he could both foresee the future and also give us spirit and free will to carry out our own desires becomes entirely acceptable.

  Richard Dawkins

• It is quite true that many scientists, many physicists, maintain that the physical constants, the half dozen or so numbers that physicists have to simply assume in order to derive the rest of their understanding ... have to be assumed. You can't provide a rationale for why those numbers are there. Physicists have calculated that if any of these numbers was a little bit different, the universe as we know it wouldn't exist.
