I agree. I have a lot more respect for quiet agnostics like Sir David Attenborough+. To the best of his knowledge, there is no God, and if there is likely God used evolution as a tool for creation. But he never insists that everyone believe it as fact, or that anyone who doesn't believe is ignorant. He simply says what he thinks is true.

- run4yourlives 17y agoI like Attenborough. Like me, he is an agnostic that is not interested in being labeled atheist. He also understands that science cannot possibly be used to describe "god" or the lack thereof, but that doesn't equate to a non-existence of such a being. It is a logical, critical assessment. I feel that Dawkins misses this, even though he may play it some lip service.
- ZeroGravitas 17y agoI thought Attenborough was an athiest. Certainly sounds like it in this quote: "I think of a little child in east Africa with a worm burrowing through his eyeball. The worm cannot live in any other way, except by burrowing through eyeballs. I find that hard to reconcile with the notion of a divine and benevolent creator." http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mandrake/4347954/Sir-David-Attenborough-questioned-on-faith-naturally.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mandrake/4347954/...
