William Ball “Will” Provine (19 Februarie 1942 – 1 September 2015) was ’n Amerikaanse historikus van wetenskap en evolusionêre biologie en bevolkingsgenetika. Hy was ook ’n ateïs.

In skeppingskringe is hy baie bekend vir die volgende erkenning wat hy gemaak het:

“Let me summarize my views on what modern evolutionary biology tells us loud and clear, and I must say that these are basically Darwin’s views. There are no gods, no purposeful forces of any kind, no life after death. When I die, I am absolutely certain that I am going to be completely dead. That’s just all—that’s gonna be the end of me. There is no ultimate foundation for ethics, no ultimate meaning in life, and no free will for humans, either.”

[Uit Evolution = atheism, no purpose.]

“[B]elief in modern evolution makes atheists of people. One can have a religious view that is compatible with evolution only if the religious view is indistinguishable from atheism.”

[Uit Evolution makes atheists out of people!]

Hy kom ook voor in Ben Stein se dokumentêr, Expelled: No intelligence allowed.
