My understanding of Dawkins’ view is that science has made God needless. Science can and eventually will explain all that can be known. Science, for example, has shown us that the diversity of biological life can be explained through natural processes such as natural selection and random mutation, and therefore require no appeal to any supernatural creator or designer of biological organisms. Even though science cannot yet explain many things – like the origin of the universe from nothing and the origin of life from inorganic matter – given enough time for scientific research, progress will be made and all matters can potentially be resolved. Dawkins also opposes the possibility of miracles and argues that it would stop science in its tracks.
