Differences And Contributions Of Richard Dawkins And Charles Darwin

Richard Dawkins is a well-known biologist and a writer who takes after Charles Darwin. Charles Darwin was the man who originally discovered the possibility of natural selection. Scott LaFee is a science writer who believes that Dawkin’s work proves that he is very similar to Charles Darwin. “Richard Dawkins, the 68-year-old English biologist and best-selling author, whose rousing defense and explanations of evolution have earned him international admiration, the enduring enmity of creationists and the nickname ‘Darwin 's Rottweiler.’” (LaFee). From the evidence of the research it becomes clear that Richard Dawkins shared many of the same believes as those as Charles Darwin.

Charles Darwin originally called religion into question when he believed that humans were not created by God, but instead created from other species. Richard Dawkins had the same ideals. He did not believe that humans were God’s creation, but rather that they came from similar genes that started from bacteria. Todd Douglas is a Canadian Journalist who went to school at Vancouver School of Theology. “Such hard-edged atheism is now more strongly linked with biology than any other science…many biologists, suffer from a lack of understanding about spirituality and faith, which do not rely only on empirical proof, but on inductive reasoning.” (Douglas). Both Richard Dawkins and Charles Darwin believed in their theories more than God. However, this is because they had facts to show from their research. They had proof to show from their hard work, instead of blind …show more content…
The random education is more rare. This is when a guardian of some kid would show their kids whatever came their way. If something was playing on the television set that is what they would watch. “From where we stand the rain seems random. If we could stand somewhere else, we would see the order in it.” (Hillerman, Coyote Waits). Many people believe that all education is random, however most have a certain type of intentionality involved. The process of intentional education involves two parts. The first part is selection. This includes things that the parents want their children to see because it would better their education. The other process is called deselection. These are the things that the parents purposefully choose not to show their child. In modern days, this would involve items that are too graphic for viewing, words that are not suitable for young ears and music that is considered explicit. Both parts of intentional education are very important. Because of the controlled variables in the intentional education, it could be used to predict the outcome of a child’s future. If a child was shown books at an early age, there is a good chance that this child would grow up to become a good reader. Random education is not as popular as intentional education. “Shall we just carelessly allow children to hear any casual tales which may be devised by casual persons, and to receive into their
