:"Our culture is one that deeply praises [[science]], so we assume because someone is a good scientist, they must be a good [[philosopher]]." ([http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/10/14/nfaith114.xml lecture at Swansea University])

*He rejected Prof [[Richard Dawkins|Dawkins]]'s theory which assumes [[culture]] is transmitted in a similar way to [[biology]], through "[[meme]]s" as opposed to [[gene]]s, and added: "I find this philosophically crass and undeveloped at best, simply [[contradictory]] and empty at worst."
*Dr Williams added that to see religion as a survival strategy was to misunderstand it.
