13 MARCH - I'M GRATEFUL

THAT RICHARD DAWKINS IS GRATEFUL!

"The universe we live in and the fact of our existence is truly a cause for gratitude.

Gratitude for our individual existence and for the process of evolution which from the blind forces of physics produces all that we know and gives it the illusion of design."

(from a blog about Richard's speech at the conference)

Dawkins rebuffs any divine conclusions from fine tuning of the universe. This is not proof of conscious intelligence he says. “To postulate a divine knob twiddler who knew the exact value doesn’t explain anything.”
