Do you agree with this Richard Dawkins quote?
"Some people are going to get hurt, other people are going to get lucky, and you won't find any rhyme or reason in it, nor any justice. The universe that we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but pitiless indifference."

I accept it since it is entirely factual. The universe isn’t run by some magic man and the only people who believe in that ridiculous notion are pathetic morons who would rather live in a nonsense fairytale where magic is real and science is false, aka religitards.
As a scientist I think it is good that he doesn’t shy away from speaking out against religious bullshit. Science is in direct opposition to superstitious magic and it is dangerous when people reject reality and try to brainwash others into the same, especially when they create organizations and churches with the goal of brainwashing people. It is also bad when a religious person gets into the field of science and tries to poke their magician into science (for example the creationism/intelligent design retardation). Religion/magic should go against everything a scientist stands for, otherwise they aren’t fit to be a scientist.

"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
