David Mills (born January 24, 1959) is an American atheist and an author who argues that science and religion cannot be successfully reconciled. He is best known for his book Atheist Universe which was published in 2004. In his book The God Delusion, evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins cites Mills' writings as "admirable work." Mills claims in his books to rebut both young- and old-earth creation science, as well as Intelligent Design.
Mills has been interviewed on multiple talk shows including The Infidel Guy, WBAI in New York, on Air America Radio, and elsewhere. He is also a self-proclaimed member of the Rational Response Squad. He currently lives in Huntington, West Virginia.
Famous quotes containing the words david and/or mills:
“Penacooks and Mohawks! ubique gentium sunt?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The logical English train a scholar as they train an engineer. Oxford is Greek factory, as Wilton mills weave carpet, and Sheffield grinds steel. They know the use of a tutor, as they know the use of a horse; and they draw the greatest amount of benefit from both. The reading men are kept by hard walking, hard riding, and measured eating and drinking, at the top of their condition, and two days before the examination, do not work but lounge, ride, or run, to be fresh on the college doomsday.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
