"A universe with a God would look quite different from a universe without one. A physics, a biology where there is a God is bound to look different. So the most basic claims of religion are scientific. Religion is a scientific theory"

- Richard Dawkins

About this Quote

This quote by Richard Dawkins recommends that the presence of a God would have a considerable effect on deep space and the sciences that study it. He implies that the basic claims of faith are clinical, and that religion itself is a scientific theory. This suggests that the presence of a God would have a tangible impact on the universe, and that the sciences of physics and biology would be different if a God were present. Dawkins' quote indicates that the existence of a God would be a scientific phenomenon, which deep space would look different if a God existed. This suggests that faith and science are not equally unique, however rather that religion is a clinical theory.
