Certainly not. And Richard Dawkins wouldn't jump off a cliff as he understands how precious this life is.
On the other hand, if some well known evangelical said you'd get to heaven if you jumped off a cliff, there are people who would actually do it.
And Dawkins would be the first to point out that you don't know how evolution works... We didn't evolve from monkeys any more than they evolved from us. We share a common ancestor. We're like really distant cousins separated over millions of years - our ancestors are all long gone.

I can't answer that question without knowing who this yo-yo Dawkins is.
About that monkey question, I've answered it dozens of times already. No scientist ever claimed that humans evolved from monkeys. I could go through the whole thing again, but that would spoil the book for you. How do I know that you didn't already read the book?
Because of that monkey question - - - it's not in any scientific book, including Origin of Species.
Would you Christians follow this Dawkin guy anywhere ?

actually no longer. And Richard Dawkins does no longer bounce off a cliff as he's familiar with how effectual this existence is. on the choice hand, if some solid recognized evangelical stated you may get to heaven could you jumped off a cliff, there are persons who could definitely do it. And Dawkins may be the prevalent to element out which you don't comprehend how evolution works... We did no longer evolve from monkeys any extra than they progressed from us. We share a prevalent ancestor. we are like particularly distant cousins separated over 1000's of 1000's of years - our ancestors are all long long previous.

Ask your first grade teacher about the monkeys comment. Follow him off a cliff? you live your life based on a set of rules made up 2000 years ago and yet you think WE are the impressionable ones? Interesting.

2 stupid questions for the price of 1 - what a deal!
No because we're not like religious people and dont follow anyone blindly
and monkeys? no reason at all - if we were created by god - if we all evolved then other groups of related animals is what you'd expect, isnt it, dummy?

first of all no, i was joking about the calender thing, if thats what this was about. and there are still monkeys because we, both chimps and humans came from the same evolutionary branch, (an older version of monkeys) we didnt come strait from the monkey's you see today. all life separated from a single source. separating in various ways that allowed them to survive.

Maybe, it would depend on how far down it was, if it was over water and if there was water if it was warm. I used to jump off cliffs when I was younger. It can be fun. I suggest you try it soon.

Clone. Anyway....Dawkins is not the atheist messiah. He's a smart guy and has great ideas but I don't worship him.
