Richard Dawkins is the Charles Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science, at Oxford University. As a scientist, he has a sound understanding of scientific issues such as evolution and the creation of the universe. This has led him to believe that Creationism is inherently untrue. Since his role is to advance the public understanding of science, he has written books such as The God Delusion (Bantam Press, 2006) to explain his views.
There are many who disagree with creationism on scientific and even biblical grounds, but Dawkins does so publicly because that is part of his job at Oxford University.

What is Richard Dawkins' view on Creationism?
Richard Dawkins is the Charles Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science, at Oxford University. In this position, he clearly has a sound understanding of scientific issues such as evolution and the creation of the universe. This has led him to believe that Creationism is inherently untrue. Since his role is to advance the public understaning of Science, he has written books such as The God Delusion(Bantam Press, 2006) to explain his views.I think that Professor Dawkins sees Creationism as dependently linked to religious belief. Where he views Creationism to contend with Science, which he asserts is quite often, Dawkins prefers to focus on the inherent failure of the underlying religious belief rather than simply demonstrating the error of the Creationist belief and leaving the proponent to continue in his or her religious beliefs.The debate around creationism and evolution is more fully covered in: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation
