Why I admire Richard Dawkins
Unlike Jack , who wants to meet lots of people, I was initially stumped by the question posed at 43 people. I’m not particularly sociable and I’m not one for awestruck fandom so who do I want to meet? I tried to think of somebody who is still alive and has made some kind of major contribution to human thought and came up with Richard Dawkins. I don’t know what I’d want to ask or say to him if I did meet him though, so perhaps I would just express my appreciation for the work he has done in explaining the power of evolution, writing accessible but inspiring books, campaigning against attempts to introduce teaching the bogus science of creationism, and for coining the word “meme”.
