Richard Dawkins Award
02.17.03 - The award is being unveiled at the annual AAI
conference this year being held April 18 - 20, 2003 in Tampa, Florida,
and will be presented during the banquet ceremonies on Saturday, April
19. The 2003 award will be given to: "The Amazing" James Randi
(for more information about the recipient at:
www.randi.org)
James Randi is being honored for his decades of work challenging
pseudo-scientific claims. His dedication to promoting critical thinking
is in keeping with the highest standards set by Dr. Richard Dawkins. Like
Dawkins, Randi is an inspiration to everyone who searches for truth and
applies rationalism to solving life's mysteries. Demonstrating a
nontheist world view in a straightforward manner, Randi has combined
entertainment and education while debunking charlatans who would
encourage human ignorance. On stage and in writing he is never less than
"The Amazing" James Randi.
The Richard Dawkins Award will be given every year to honor an
outstanding Atheist whose contributions raise public awareness of the
nontheist life stance; who through writings, media, the arts, film,
and/or the stage advocates increased scientific knowledge; who through
work or by example teaches acceptance of the nontheist philosophy; and
whose public posture mirrors the uncompromising nontheist life stance of
Dr. Richard Dawkins.
