520 |a Richard Dawkins, a leader in the New Atheism movement and bestselling author, is one of the foremost proponents of a gene-centered approach to evolutionary science. Not only does he claim that materialism offers a satisfying purpose for life, but he has trenchantly criticized those who accept the existence of a supernatural creator. Dawkins has had a great impact on perceptions of science's scope and the viability of atheism, but his foundations are not as robust as they might seem.
