@@lawrence1318 I think you're getting the "science is always revising its ideas" part wrong. Yes, science has the capacity to change its ideas and create new hypotheses in order to provide the most accurate explanation to something. However, a lot of (hard) science such as the theory of evolution is a lot more refined and unchanging. Its ideas on natural selection and adaptation aren't really changing since they have been studied so much. Aside from the false notion that science is always having a dramatic shift in its ideas every so often, I assume that you're agreeing with Gervais in that these religious writings would be lost forever if they were to be burned, since they do not mirror the exact word or meaning of God. The Bible can be used as a tool to say anything a person wants, as long as it's what they think God might want them to say without actually having proof of it. You say it echos truth but how can you trust fallible man? I have two question: Is it not more likely that our negative emotions and the human conscience is the result of nature's work, evolution, and our brain, rather than the work of a god that's in conflict with not only the world's sea of religions but also with itself (its different sects, religious scripts, and interpretations?). How can any religion be trusted if everyone is so confidently devoted to their own religion while they think that everyone else is living a lie? My confidence in the nonexistence of man-made gods stems directly from people's arrogant, faithful belief in their own god and rejection of others. It is simply the Barnum effect and the natural human need for belonging and explanation for the unknown.
@@lawrence1318 Okay, my mistake. If you were born in a country with Islam as the dominant religion, would you realize Christianity was the true religion and if so, how? How would you know what was true or false without the right scriptures and how would you know if God wanted you to pursue Christianity or Islam?
@@lawrence1318 science revises itself _constrained by evidence_, so you see, roughly speaking, it's like a funnel, stricter and stricter, you have to explain at least as many facts that were explained by the preceding hypotheses, typically more. Religion (which is not about "having a conscience", you don't need religion for that) is about specific believes , most of the times involving details about conscious creatures creating the universe. Now, since there are thousands religions already (that we know of), and pretty much incompatible with each other, you would expect that in 1000 year other thousands would be created , wouldn't you?

Jesus said, "I tell you the truth no one will see the kingdom of God unless he is born again. I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me." For God so loved the world that He give His only Son that whoever believes in Him will not perish but will have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world but to save the World through Him. For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God. For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord, and All who call upon the name of the Lord will be saved. " If you want to be sure of Heaven and avoid the other place below say the following prayer sincerely from your heart." Lord Jesus I repent and am sorry for my sins forgive me.

Yes, I agree. There seems a lot of anger and bile that these standups have the great privilege of being able to vomit. By the way, Christians don't worship the Bible but the one it reveals - the Christ who loves us.

To a recovering Catholic, Gervais is the best thing after Carlin. One never quite gets over a childhood of such intense gaslighting - but these brilliant gents have certainly helped.
I so agree with you. I'm 68, left the Catholic upbringing I was raised with years ago. I STILL fight the "demons" in my head from all the emotional agony religion caused me during my childhood years. I no longer believe in anything but ME and those that I surround myself with. I stopped feeling "rejected" by that god when I left religion, all those prayers that were NEVER answered, it truly messed with my head growing up. I now just live my life, whatever happens, I deal with it. No more endless days and hours of praying only to never be answered. It caused too much emotional and mental pain. I learned from my 32 year old son, you just live your life and when bad things happen, you just deal with it and that's that. When good things happen, enjoy it, that's just life. It's a much more peaceful way of living life. Live in the moment and deal with whatever comes up yourself or with the help of other REAL people.
The way you describe Catholicism as an addiction or disease is so perfect 😂 I realized it was BS when I was in middle school so I never got too messed up by it, but I totally understand and sympathize with those who had their lives ruined by it… Sorry for your loss 😬😅

I identify as someone who does not believe in the existence of god. I hold the view that there is insufficient evidence or rational justification to support the belief in any gods or supernatural entities. I rely on reason, logic, and empirical evidence to form my worldview and do not find compelling evidence or arguments to support the existence of god.
There is only one animal (trivia) fact that everyone should know because knowing it will make your life a tiny bit better: A baby platypus is called a puggle and a group of platypuses is called a paddle, so you can actually have a paddle of puggles!

I was once approached by two Mormons asking me if I believed in god, and when I replied ‘no’ they asked if I would like the proof… I would like the proof, I like a good religious debate. So I was shown a passage in the bible which literally said that god exists. I was a bit disappointed, but I was told god wrote the bible, so it must be true.
God inspired certain people to write the scriptures. Which is why the Old and New Testaments back each other up. It's called a double witness. For instance read Psalm 22 and then read the biblical account in New Testament about the crucifixion. It's exactly the same. Both of these were really a thousand years apart. Man can't do that.

That's why comedians usually leave pauses after jokes so they don't have to talk over the loud audience as much. It's common sense dude
Hahaha true it doesn't but the reason for even stating this line in Genesis is because it is directed at an audience of people who worshiped the earth and thought that it was divine. The statement, "God created the heavens and the earth" is there to refute that claim and that claim only. Context is always useful to understanding, but it is not as funny in a comedy setting I suppose!
Big Bang definition: The universe began with every speck of its energy jammed into a very tiny point. This extremely dense point exploded with unimaginable force, creating matter and propelling it outward to make the billions of galaxies of our vast universe. That’s great, but no professor could ever answer my simple questions. I was a very earnest atheist (as opposed to a God hater) and wanted valid scientific proofs. Where did that initial massive energy come from? How does an explosion of energy CREATE matter? If the matter were already contained in that dense point, where did it come from? Why was that the only explosion that created matter and it has never happened again? Shouldn’t other explosions create previously non-existent elements and galaxies? I still went on to get my degree in electronic engineering, but I consider the Big Bang Theory to be magical nonsense.

@@catherinesummers5057 about a month ago someone asked me how God could first say “Let there be light”, then after that create the sun and the stars; this seemed impossible to him. But according to the idea of the Big Bang, energy, space, time and matter came into existence at the same time. So energy, in all portions of the electromagnetic spectrum including light, existed along with the primordial form of matter. According to secular cosmology, matter coalesced into stars, which then radiated light. So either by the Big Bang theory or the biblical account light existed before the sun and stars.

Love that bit about the gorilla in the zoo. You can count on people being completely unhelpful in a situation because they are too busy filming it.
It's sad, but the actual story ( I think) was about Harambe, but i'm not sure, it being a 3 year old involved seems too coincidental
@@benwu7980 Ricky said Jambo, the gorilla, which took place at a British zoo, in 1986. Harambe was in the Cincinnati zoo & that happened in 2016. There's another story, yet, that took place in 1996, when a little boy fell into the gorilla enclosure at an Illinois zoo ! A female gorilla named Binti Jua cradled the little boy & took him to a doorway, where rescuers were able to get him. Harambe's story is so very sad !
It's sad that that's how things are today. People would rather film an incident than help a fellow human
Ricky deserves every bit of his success. One of the best.

Jesus said, "I tell you the truth no one will see the kingdom of God unless he is born again. I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me." For God so loved the world that He give His only Son that whoever believes in Him will not perish but will have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world but to save the World through Him. For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God. For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord, and All who call upon the name of the Lord will be saved. " If you want to be sure of Heaven and avoid the other place below say the following prayer sincerely from your heart." Lord Jesus I repent and am sorry for my sins forgive me. I forgive all who have offended me. Come into my heart and save me. I accept you as my Lord and Saviour. Fill me with your Holy Spirit and baptise me with your Holy Spirit.

Do you know how hard it is to do stand-up comedy without yelling? I recall Chris Rock saying that most stand-ups are basically yelling and repeating themselves going "ahhhh, laugh at my joke!" Gervais is so good at just talking and being subtle. Such a skill.

Indeed!
I so agree with you. I'm 68, left the Catholic upbringing I was raised with years ago. I STILL fight the "demons" in my head from all the emotional agony religion caused me during my childhood years. I no longer believe in anything but ME and those that I surround myself with. I stopped feeling "rejected" by that god when I left religion, all those prayers that were NEVER answered, it truly messed with my head growing up. I now just live my life, whatever happens, I deal with it. No more endless days and hours of praying only to never be answered. It caused too much emotional and mental pain. I learned from my 32 year old son, you just live your life and when bad things happen, you just deal with it and that's that. When good things happen, enjoy it, that's just life. It's a much more peaceful way of living life. Live in the moment and deal with whatever comes up yourself or with the help of other REAL people.

I was once approached by two Mormons asking me if I believed in god, and when I replied ‘no’ they asked if I would like the proof… I would like the proof, I like a good religious debate.

God inspired certain people to write the scriptures. Which is why the Old and New Testaments back each other up. It's called a double witness.

Big Bang definition: The universe began with every speck of its energy jammed into a very tiny point. This extremely dense point exploded with unimaginable force, creating matter and propelling it outward to make the billions of galaxies of our vast universe.

Where did that initial massive energy come from?
How does an explosion of energy CREATE matter?

So energy, in all portions of the electromagnetic spectrum including light, existed along with the primordial form of matter. According to secular cosmology, matter coalesced into stars, which then radiated light. So either by the Big Bang theory or the biblical account light existed before the sun and stars.

Love Ricky!!! Keep on keepin' on mate!!!
I like Ricky too and he also looks somewhat like actor, Ray Milland.
@Amanda , what's to love about him ? He's dragging you through the sewer. Don't you smell it on your skin ?
@@henkackermann9986 : The "sewer" comes from the bible, Henk. Thomas Paine said: "Whenever we read the obscene stories, the debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness with which more than half of the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we call it the word of wickedness than the word of a loving god. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind."
@@anonymousjohnson976 , do want to talk about Hitler , Stalin , PolPot , Mao Se Dong , the British empire's and muslim governments torture's , murder and starvation of nations and their own people ?
@@henkackermann9986 : Somehow I knew you would bring those people up. Yes, they were atheist and murdered people, because they wanted power. Now, let's discuss the christian wars, Henk.
1. The massacre in Rwanda, 800,000 dead in 100 days, mostly christians killing christians.
2. Two World Wars started by theists (Germany, Czarist Russia, Japan, Italy (90 million dead in 10 years).
3. Ten million killed in the 30-year-war (more christians killing christians).
4. The Lushon rebellion during the Tang Dynasty, 30 million deaths (not atheists).
5, The 100-year war, 3 million dead (yep, Jesus followers).
6. The wars in the Democratic Republic of Congo, 5 million dead in 6 years (again, christians).
7. 40 million dead in the Three Kingdom War in China (not atheists). 6 million dead in the Napoleonic wars (again, christians).
Do we really want to count numbers to see who murdered the most people, Henk? Both sides are guilty.
HAHA, a popular senior prank at my high school about 50 years ago was to take cows up to the third floor... the fact that the stories were still told gives you some idea of just how epic it was!
You do realize he's making fun of people that believe in god right? As in they're numb skulls.
@@FenrirRagnulf shhh… don’t startle the animals.
Cows...
You had cows at school...
I vaguely remember a hamster cage in one of the classrooms. I never actually saw the hamster though. Maybe they lied and there was no hamster.
You had cows at school...
Cows...
Yeah..brilliant..YAWN!!🙄😤🧐👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿
@@keithduncan4148 Christ, you're fun.
Thank you 🙏 Universal Comedy
Trying to lead the cows downstairs,
"Go on, down you go. Oh, no, you can't. Never mind, you have to. Chop, chop...... Hang on, that's an idea......."
I miss his maniacal laugh, but still very funny.
Ricky Gervais is the king of comedy
Ricky is a genius!
Ricky is a genius, I could listen to him all day.
What a tremendous way to present the Gospel.....! God has a wonderful sense of humor. He Does
You realize that was all satire, right?
God does have a wonderful sense of humour. That is where we get it from as we are made in his image and likeness
The roasting of the celebrities at the globe us his pista resistance 👌
*pièce de résistance
Its French
"We are the Pizza Resistance, also known as the Democratic People's Front of Pizza, our goals are many!"
As a child I spent every moment I could at the natural history museum in Denver.
Ricky gervais is just amazing 😂😂
Always a Good Truthful Laugh. Many Truths are Told in Jest - Samuel Clemons
Amazingly talented man 👨 👏
I love Ricki absolutely champagne entertainment 😂😂
My favourite thing about bible is that god said "let there be light" and few verses later , he is like NOW let there be sun and moon and stars.
Now if we receive the light from the sun what happened the "light" from the beginning
Big Bang? Then a bit later sun etc
@@jackiemendelsohn Earth before big bang? 🤔
Magic
Great question. With the right attitude, you are in for the time of your life. Learning eternal truths.
@@jackiemendelsohn Why would there be light in the big bang before there were stars? You're imagining the big bang as an explosion, aren't you?
Well done Ricky.
I love this guy. He is hysterical .!!!
If I ask an atheist if he is a Buddhist he would reply: "Of course not", which makes perfect sense when you know that in Sanskrit the word Buddha means wisdom.
@@jeffforsythe9514 Why are you making yourself look silly.
@@asherz3621 I am probably the only person you know that truly knows what he is talking about, but you are too lost to recognize that, sorry.
@@jeffforsythe9514 lmao
This show is so brilliant, you have to watch the whole thing. Find it somewhere.
Such a clever man.
That's the way God created him.
@@lytnin88 In the dark no less!! He was even kind enough to write it down on a dusty old book! What a lad!
@@lytnin88 There are thousands of disparate gods (and devoted and pious followers) across time and geography. To imagine you have any credible reason to recommend one over another (god or follower) is laughable.
@@freejulianassange537 Don't you think the Creator of the Universe wants to reveal Himself to His creation? Why would He want to keep us guessing?
@@lytnin88 My point exactly - the only commonalities among the thousands of gods are standard human questions and the only ones that remain are those yet unanswered by science..or those among the uneducated.
Religions have had all kinds of specific opinions until they got systematically debunked by scientific investigation. Now they comment on nebulous vagaries or are terribly specific about the mundane. I do hope their usefulness in inciting the plebs to war doesn't ensure their continued existence long after we should have outgrown them as a species.
That which makes the creation myth so successful lies in its simplicity. That's NOT to say that it's theoretically probable, it just means that it's easy to comprehend.
But Occam's razor is a philosophical view that states the simplest explanation is usually true. I see more of Gods creation now than I did watching Blue Planet - and that's just doing the school run.
@@curryandapint right, but it needs to not only be simple, but also fit observations. And no creation myth seems to get any of it right. Example, light being created before stars in genesis. No evidence of a global flood, but in fact evidence against it in the form of parallel civilizations thriving right through the flood as though it never happened. That is just one example of why flood myths are impossible as written.
Not as simple as the current creationist faith in "equality".
@@stewartminges In the bible the word translated in as earth can also be equally legitimately translated as land, country or region. There is good evidence for more than one catastrophic and vast Mesopotamian flooding. Also light predates the stars according to cosmologists.
@@peterwalton4165 please tell me you're joking. That light that predates the stars is the cosmic microwave background, something so redshifted we can't see it anymore. And the earth was supposed to exist before that, illuminated before the sun formed. Illuminated by I suppose microwaves according to your logic? How do multiple catastrophic floods that leave the culture intact compare to what the bible describes? At the very best the writers of the bible were deluded, at the worst they were blatantly lying. You wanna try to defend Exodus 21 next?
Couldn't stand Ricky Gervais years ago, suddenly don't mind him 🤣
I've always found him hilarious, what made you hate him back then?
@@thrasherdave1428 When he first made it big in The Office no one knew him so his style of humour came off as self-indulgent and arrogant and put many people off, he still is self-indulgent and arrogant but people now know him and know how compassionate he is about a lot of things and how his personality is just his way of coping with there being so many idiots in the world.
@@krashd Yeah makes sense. Ricky's a really cool guy and his sometimes dark humor is always spot on as well. Comedy in general is about coping with bad situations and dealing with so many idiots in the world and Ricky does it better than anyone else
