'I can't be sure God DOES NOT exist': [COLOR="Red"]World's most notorious atheist[/COLOR] Richard Dawkins admits he is in fact agnostic

Professor Richard Dawkins today dismissed his hard-earned reputation as a militant atheist - admitting that he is actually agnostic as he can't prove God doesn't exist.

The country's foremost champion of the Darwinist evolution, who wrote The God Delusion, stunned audience members when he made the confession during a lively debate on the origins of the universe with the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Professor Dawkins, the former Oxford Professor for the Public Understanding of Science, is a dedicated admirer of Charles Darwin, regarding the Victorian pioneer of evolution as the man who explained ‘everything we know about life’.

he knows damn well there's no god, but as he nears the end of the line, his ego needs there to be a god. because if you're an athiest, the prospect of completely dissolving in to nothingness can be truly terrifying.

god and religion may be bullshit, but it does tend to keep you feeling a little warm and toasty even in the worst of times, knowing that you'll be preserved in some form after your body dies.

dawkins as a scientist can simply point to the old logical statement that god can be neither proven nor disproven, and so bring himself a little comfort in his final years.....

ehh

when you get close to "the end" it can open your eyes though...suddenly you realize maybe there is more to existence than what we can see with our own eyes...it is a gut check, let's see if you REALLY believe we are alone.

you know how most would say there has to be life on other planets due to the vast amount of plants/stars out there?...IMO a similar logic applies to there being other planes/realms...I think it is extremely unlikely this universe is "it".

Well as a mere human being on Earth how can anyone, Dawkins or someone else, prove the existence of a supernatural creator?

they can't...just like proving the non-existence of anything "supernatural"

True. If there are infinite combinations it is definitely possible that we are existing in more than one reality.

It's not planned I swear.

I actually believe in the basic tenets of Christianity but I don't presume it to be the only path to enlightenment. People like Bladers, who try and force their view really piss me off.

Hey Deuce, are you religious?...or a thiest?...agnostic?...athiest?

where do you stand?

Since you believe people are born gays and lesbian then so are pedos and rapist and serial killlers, etc.

So why punish them for something they were born with? Why is the latter a crime and not the former?

Well at least he leaves room for doubting his beliefs, cant say the same about the religious who never doubt the existence of God.
On a side note, I'm an Atheist but I don't consider Dawkins or any other human being as my leader. The concept of Atheism having a leader is absurd.

Because the rules are made by human beings and they are not supposed to be fair or perfect but to fit the moral values made up by religions throughout human history in order to put a leash on human's primal drives.
