I am Evolution - NPR
I believe evolution. It’s easy. It’s my life. I’m a paleoanthropologist. I study fossils of humans, apes and monkeys, and I teach college students about their place in nature.

Of course I believe evolution.

But that is different from believing in evolution.

To believe in something takes faith, trust, effort, strength. I need none of these things to believe evolution. It just is. My health is better because of medical research based on evolution. My genetic code is practically the same as a chimpanzee’s. My bipedal feet walk on an earth full of fossil missing links. And when my feet tire, those fossils fuel my car…..

“The … claim that the theory of evolution is responsible for 300 million deaths is absurd and insulting. The murderous totalitarian states led by Hitler and Stalin were driven by ideologies of socialist utopianism, racism, and anti-Semitism, not by a scientific theory relating to the origin of species.
The barbarity of such regimes was made possible not because its leaders were atheists (Hitler wasn’t an atheist), but because its leaders were granted unquestioned power and loyalty.“

Richard Dawkins takes only 3 minutes to slam both and Cardinal Murphy O’Connor and his interviewer, John Humphrys for the false privilege given to religion. Listen and enjoy.
