Richard Dawkins - Spiked Science Survey
3 May 2005
Natural selection escapes the infinite regress, because it starts simple, and works up gradually - step by step - to statistical improbability, and the illusion of design.
On the centenary of the publication of Albert Einstein’s ‘E=Mc2‘ equation, spiked-online asked 250 scientists what they could teach the world if they could teach only one thing. I’ve always enjoyed Richard Dawkins’ books. He has a knack for explaining complicated things very clearly, without oversimplifying them. If more people read his books we might not be in the absurd position we are in currently, with more and more schools teaching intelligent design as a scientific theory that can be compared with evolution.
