Atheist Richard Dawkins Tells Playboy: We Are ‘Apes,‘ Evidence for Jesus’ Existence ‘Is Surprisingly Shaky’ & Christ Dying for Humanity‘s Sins Is ’a Truly Disgusting Idea’
Famed atheist Richard Dawkins sat down with Playboy Magazine to discuss “the simple beauty of evolution, the improbability of God and why the pope should be arrested,” among other subjects. As usual, Dawkins took a provocative approach in the interview — one that people of faith will surely find offensive. These contentious anti-religious views appear in the September issue of Playboy.
While it’s unlikely that the Lord exists — at least in Dawkins’ mind — if given the opportunity to ask the creator (in the unlikely event he’s real) a question, the famed biologist said he’d ask, “Sir, why did you go to such lengths to hide yourself?”
When it comes to the individuals Dawkins associates himself with, he admitted not having any “deeply religious friends.” In addition to separating himself from those who believe in a higher power, Dawkins took a swipe at the intellectual capacity of those who embrace...
Even with elements of evolution being true, this should not draw people to the immediate conclusion that there is no God. Or that those who believe there is a God and creator of all lack intelligence.

Yet you think you know more than what every biologist agrees with, and commonly uses as a tool in their work to find evidence because your old book says something different.
"Evolution"?
You mean "There was nothing - a vacuum in space, devoid of all matter, then a big bang *BOOM!!* came out of nowhere and nothing even though, "ex nihilo nihil fit" - Then the slime then the first ameba and and and..... And out of all this by chance or accident your nervous system, respiratory and circulatory system, musculoskeletal system, cardiovascular system, endocrine system...... etc etc etc .... came into being????
Are there REALLY people who actually believe this.
Oh I just have to add if we evolved from apes and we are so intelligent how come the apes don't murder, rape, steal, lie, cheat, etc......you get the point we haven't evolved enough it seems hey there Christy..........or maybe that old book of ours is right and men are born in sin and need a Savior!
In the documentary "Expelled " Richard at the end talks about aliens! So he can not believe in God but thinks there are aliens. I assure every person that drives a car made by an intelligent being that any living organism on earth is more complicated by just processing life! It doesn't. Take rocket science to know someone made your riled!

1 Corinthians 1 26 For consider your calling, brethren, that there were not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; 27 but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong, 28 and the base things of the world and the despised, God has chosen, the things that are not, that He might nullify the things that are, 29 that no man should boast before God.---NASB

"...he admitted not having any “deeply religious friends.” In addition to separating himself from those who believe in a higher power, Dawkins took a swipe at the intellectual capacity of those who embrace God."
It's good Dawkins has those icons of superior intellectual capacity, the Playboy "readers," to satisfy his need to vent. Everyone needs someone who will listen.
"a question, the famed biologist said he’d ask, “Sir, why did you go to such lengths to hide yourself?”"
God's answer - "I didn't."
But fools tend to be blind Richard.
God has stated:: "18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools
And God has stated:: "1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good."
"3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:" "4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them."
It’s not that I shun them,” he said of the religious. “It’s that the circles I move in tend to be educated, intelligent circles, and there aren’t any religious people among them that I know of.”
1 Corinthians 1:26 For consider your calling, brethren, that there were not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; 27 but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong, 28 and the base things of the world and the despised God has chosen, the things that are not, so that He may nullify the things that are, 29 so that no man may boast before God.”
Well, he might be right in what he sees and experiences, but horribly wrong in his conclusions!
