"If the demise of God will leavea gap, different people will fill it in different ways. My way includes a good dose of science, the honest and systematic endeavour to find out the truth about the real world." (Dawkins 2006, The God Delusion, p. 405)
The real world?
" 'Really' isn't a word that word we should use with simple confidence. 'Really', for an animal, is whatever its brain needs it to be, in order to assist its survival. And because different species live in such different worlds, there will bea troubling variety of 'reallys'.
What we see of the real world is not the unvarnished real world but a model of the real world, regulated and adjusted by sense data - a model that is constructed so that it is useful for dealing with the real world." (Ibid, p. 416)
