What Richard Dawkins says about Faith
If it worries you that the evolutionists are basing their arguments on scientific proof, then here is a quote from Professor Richard Dawkins
I believe, but I cannot prove, that all life, all intelligence, all creativity and all 'design' anywhere in the universe is the direct or indirect product of Darwinian natural selection.

debate between Richard Dawkins and John Mackay
In an interesting debate between Richard Dawkins and John Mackay, the International Director of Creation Research, Richard Dawkins made the following statement:
The refusal to believe in anything you can't see yourself is absurd. Think about it, I never saw Napoleon with my own eyes, but that doesn't mean Napoleon didn't exist. John Mackay can't see a cell or an atom or weather systems on the other side of the world. Does that mean they don't exist!
There are two points that come from this. The first is that Dawkins is confirming that there is no way of proving evolution. The second is that Dawkin's belief in evolution is no different to a Christian's belief in Creation. They are both faith systems. If one could prove a faith system then it no longer needs faith, it becomes fact. Dawkins does not believe that evolution is proven science, to him it is a faith!

In a recent interview recorded on a DVD Richard Dawkins said that he would be happy to accept that all life on planet Earth could have been 'seeded' by an alien species, provided of course that the alien species itself originated from nothing!
This is an important statement because it demonstrates that Dawkins has no scientific basis for his belief in evolution. In other words his views on evolution are his religious, faith system. Why is it that I am wrong when I cannot prove to others the existance of God, yet Dawkins, a renowned scientist does not have to have any scientific proof whatsoever that all life evolved from nothing!
