Quote by Richard Dawkins

Of course in science there are things that are open to doubt and things need to be discussed. But among the things that science does know, evolution is about as certain as anything we know.

Of course in science there are things that are open to doubt

Summary

This quote emphasizes that while there are aspects of science that may be uncertain and subject to debate, the concept of evolution is remarkably well-supported and regarded as highly certain in scientific communities. It highlights the extensive evidence and consensus that exists around the theory of evolution, suggesting that it is as close to a certainty as any knowledge can be in the realm of science. This statement implies that the scientific understanding of evolution is robust and grounded in compelling evidence, distinguishing it from more speculative or contentious scientific notions.
