This quote is from page 116 of The God Delusion, it made me want to create this background. The caps are from episode 4 of the Christmas lectures Growing Up in the Universe by Dawkins. If you have not seen them I recommend them, this part of the lecture was very amusing; Douglas Adams you are missed by us all :heart:

Wow!!! Dawkins must have some amazing selfish genes to look like that at 50! Dare I say he looks rather dashing? Yes, yes I do!

Was this the lecture wherein he demonstrated "faith in the scientific method" by pulling a suspended steel ball up to his face and letting it go, to show how he knew it wouldn't hit him coming back?

As the great Kurt Vonnegut said, jokingly, about his long time friend, and fellow atheist, Isaac Asimov at his funeral "Isaac is in heaven now"

Kurt Vonnegut said that was the FUNNIEST thing you could say at an Atheist's funeral.
"Had them rolling in the aisle"
He said that he would like someone to say the same after his death...so...

Kurt is with the angels now.:giggle:

Goodbye Isaac, Kurt, and Douglas, you didn't believe in an immortal soul, but your words will live forever.

"Goodbye Isaac, Kurt, and Douglas, you didn't believe in an immortal soul, but your words will live forever." I think that is such a beautiful thing so say...:earth: They will inspire people long after they have passed :heart:

I do like that nickname :D Cute! Tell me how young you think he is there, and I'll tell you if you are right. It's not as young as you think, seriously he's gone some good genes on him ;)
