		In that book Dawkins argued life works in terms of replicators and vehicles; replicators can be genes riding around in the protein vehicles they make, or ideas riding around in their neural vehicles.
		In The Extended Phenotype, Dawkins argued that structures that animals are genetically hardwired to produce — such as bird nests and beaver dams — should be evolutionarily considered as part of the organisms.
		Dawkins: Well, there's that, but I think there's also the fact that again if you look at complex elegant beautiful adaptations which have many parts, all fitting together, they — it's really back to the point I referred to, the sense in which Darwin was a gradualist.

	Richard Dawkins Interview
		Dawkins : A creator who created the universe or set up the laws of physics so that life would evolve or who actually supervised the evolution of life, or anything like that, would have to be some sort of super-intelligence, some sort of mega-mind.
		Dawkins : You prepare for it by facing up to the truth, which is that life is what we have and so we had better live our life to the full while we have it, because there is nothing after it.

	Reviewing the Reviewers - Peter S. Williams
		Dawkins limits what can count as a good reason to believe something so tightly (conflating evidence with empirical evidence) that his encouragement is self-contradictory, because it cannot be justified with anything that he would count as evidence.
		Dawkins’ fundamental point can be rescued by simply using a better analogy. There are natural, non-biological, processes that convey the impression of intelligent design and provide us with a more closer parallel to evolution.
		Dawkins would have us believe that since these people doubt evolution, they can’t possibly be ‘qualified’ scientists. With Dawkins, it seems that the only qualification that counts is belief in evolution.

	Forbes.com: The Brave New World Of Richard Dawkins (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Dawkins goes on to tell about a radio interview where he maneuvered a priest into saying that identical twins don't have individual identities.
		His eventual conclusion is that the clergy in general enjoy undeserved access to the media whenever there are questions of scientific ethics to be debated and that religious representatives have an advantage in public debate because society requires that religious ideas be respected.
		That supports Dawkins' scientific triumphalism while at the same time reminding us that the social, political and religious beliefs of the world will have to be brought along with the science.

		One of the most famous arguments of the creationist theory of the universe is that of the eighteenth-century theologian William Paley: Just as a watch is too complicated and too functional to have sprung into existence by accident, so too must all living things, with their far greater complexity, be purposefully designed.

	Fragmenta Philosophica: The Blind Calumniator, Richard Dawkins
		In the course of the piece, Dawkins repeatedly abuses language, erects straw men in place of his opponents, and generally avoids any truck with the serious arguments for the opposing view.
		Does Dawkins recall that the Congress Authorized the President to take action against Saddam Hussein, or does he believe that the U.S. is domestically under the grip of martial law?
		Is perhaps Dawkins trying rhetorically to smear the character and intentions of those who are not so blinkered by modernity as to know "evil" when they see it, and view OBL and Saddam Hussein as variations on a theme?

	WhatBooks.Com: The Selfish Gene, by Richard Dawkins
		Description: Inheriting the mantle of revolutionary biologist from Darwin, Watson, and Crick, Richard Dawkins forced an enormous change in the way we see ourselves and the world with the publication of The Selfish Gene.
		This is one of the great classics of science writing, and re-reading it again recently I was deeply impressed by its freshness, the quality of Dawkins logic, the engaging style, and the trenchant, confident approach to this aspect of genetics.
		I've read most of Dawkins' popular science works but this is the origional and best (although the author himself disagrees).
