Dawkins’ Denial Of Creation
The natural temptation is to attribute the appearance of design to actual design itself. In the case of a man-made artefact such as a watch, the designer really was an intelligent engineer. It is tempting to apply the same logic to an eye or a wing, a spider or a person.
The temptation is a false one, because the designer hypothesis immediately raises the larger problem of who designed the designer. The whole problem we started out with was the problem of explaining statistical improbability. It is obviously no solution to postulate something even more improbable. We need a “crane”, not a “skyhook”; for only a crane can do the business of working up gradually and plausibly from simplicity to otherwise improbable complexity.
– Richard Dawkins
“The most ingenious and powerful crane so far discovered is Darwinian evolution by natural selection. Darwin and his successors have shown how living creatures, with their spectacular statistical improbability and appearance of design, have evolved by slow, gradual degrees from simple beginnings. We can now safely say that the illusion of design in living creatures is just that – an illusion”
- Does this argument hold any weight? It seems to say that the idea of this universe requiring a creator due to its complexity is simply a human one and the intelligence argument is therefore a non sequitur

So the phenomenon of natural selection appeared out of thin air? How about the very concept of probability? Has Dawkins been able to explain how life entered into matter? I know that he denies consciousness and free will – then why is he trying to explain all this and to whom?

Richard Dawkins in the documentary “No intelligence allowed” said that he believes Alien has to something about it. Not only that he showed he is truly arrogant about God presence.

He has deluded himself with such ideas and now too arrogant to accept it.Beside people who support intelligent designer theory in science is highly presecuted and thy are forced to give up the career. Recently there was nwes u can check. This was written by chinese wo dont believe in god but still the paper was forced to retract.
