Richard Dawkins 'not 100% sure' God does not exist

Richard Dawkins

Richard Dawkins, described by many as the world's 'most famous atheist', told an interviewer last week he is not 100 percent sure that God doesn't exist, a story in the National Catholic Reporter reveals.

In an Oxford University debate last week with the Archbishop of Canterbury, Professor Dawkins surprised his online and theatre audiences by conceding a personal chink of doubt about his conviction that there is no such thing as a creator.

But, to the amusement of the Archbishop and others, the evolutionary biologist swiftly added that he was "6.9 out of seven" certain of his long-standing atheist beliefs.
