One of the biggest names out there supporting evolution, this scientist is also stunningly handsome, or, in the words of young future scientists, "he's a cutie." Just look at that curl. Awwww.

Get the Dawkumentary mug.A scientist who has written important books on evolution and even more important books showing why Creationists haven't a leg to stand on. However, what was needed above both of these (especially in the USA) was a book filled with examples of the endless cruelties of God the Father in the Old Testament, as well as those of Jesus Christ (who would send those who so much as call one's brother a fool to eternal torture, as well as every person who doesn't believe in him), and this he gave us in The God Delusion. He treats the problems with the other religions in it as well, but I'll just remark on the Christian aspect.
Most people are not cruel, and nobody could believe that a good, loving God could commit the dozens of atrocities of the Old Testament unless his main reading of the Bible came as a child: maybe being shown as an adult the extreme nastiness of the the Godhead of the Bible will make some people see the absurdity of it all. And maybe this will speed up the process of discarding this ancient fairy tale the Bible--a piece of literature with not an iota more basis for belief than the Greek myths, and which (apart from the dangers of extremists who want to go back to stoning homosexuals and adulterers) creates some degree of antiscientism in every person who believes it.

Get the oakly doakly mug.An intelligent man who is one of the most public supporters of evolution and atheism in our modern age. Winner of numerous scientific awards, Mr Dawkins holds the scientific method up as the supreme means of understanding everything.
Using this method, he delves into evolution at length in his books including The Blind Watchmaker, The Selfish Gene, Climbing Mount Improbable amongst a few others. In these books he outlines the mass of evidence for evolution, explaining how it is as much a fact as gravity, and the theory is in fact more supported by evidence than gravity.
He shows how over many generations mutations (DNA copying errors) occur, and over many millions of years these random mutations can change a species almost unrecognisably, through natural selection, which Dawkins points out is 'the opposite of chance'. In doing this Mr Dawkins Demolishes creationism, showing it to be outdated, irrational and to be completely lacking in evidence, and not fit to even be considered anywhere close to evolution in any way.
He recently wrote a book Called 'The God Delusion', in which he argues (convincingly, in my opinion) that the god hypothesis can be made into a theory and therefore tested in the scientific method, coming to the conclusion that Gods existence is not impossible, since proving a negative is impossible, but so unlikely that god may as well be regarded as non-existent.
To those who insult him, you do your cause far more harm than good - you just make yourselves look bitter and refusing to accept reality, despite the evidence that is there. You may disagree with his views, and that's fair enough, but to insult him because he says things you don't like just makes you look petulant.

It is absolutely safe to say that, if you meet somebody who claims not to believe in evolution, that person is ignorant, stupid or insane (or wicked, but I'd rather not consider that). -- Richard Dawkins

Get the Richard Dawkins mug.A celebrated scientist and intellectual, Richard Dawkins is most well known for his book "The God Delusion", an attack on organised religion, anti evolutionists and religious led human rights inequalities (ie homophobia, mainstream Americas mis-trust of abortion) , among other things.
The man is little less than a genius in my opinion.
He makes science understandable yet mystical, and his passion for it is evident in the way he argues his point (verociously).
He's been called alot of things, and some people on this site seem to totally have it in for him, but if everyone listened to Richard Dawkins a bit more I think we'd end up with a better world.
BTW.
He hosted a tv show called The Root Of All Evil? for channel 4 about religion but he disowned the title. No one thing is the cause of all evil, except maybe Rupert Murdoch.
