This is sooo funny!! You have to be really smart to be this funny!!
And for all you offended Christians out there: FYI, Old Testament has nothing to do with Christianity so stop wining. It talks about things that "happened" way before Christianity and is actually the backbone of the Jewish faith which is the faith from which both Christianity(Jesus was Jewish, remember?) and Islam evolved.
The fact that lots of Christians try and push there beliefs on people is a turn off. That's what bugs me. But you won't find any credible creationists because the general public is usually close minded to the theory of creation. I try to be open minded
@Knalgin69 People are "close minded to the theory of creation" in exactly the same way that they are close minded to the theory of the stork bringing the baby.
@Knalgin69 as a Christian, don't back down on your belief and do not succumb to the world's views. grow in Christ and answer according to the Bible. you either believe or you don't. sharing the Good News is a commandment.
I'm Christian and I thought that was hilarious, though he didn't get in depth on the bible and read segments that are not exactly making sense. Alot of it ties into free will and the fact that satin was the snake but that's not the point. I hope that everyone can respect Christianity tho even after this
@Knalgin69 He's not having a go at Christians (although he is Atheist) he's having a pop at creationists, there are some great scientists who are Christians, but you won't find any credible scientists who are creationists
@Knalgin69 I can respect Christian believers' right to believe whatever they wish, but I can never respect the cloud that Christianity and other religions cast over mankind and our planet. It is all lies, genocide, racism, sexism, propaganda, ignorance... I could go on.
.....if god is omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent, than "free will" cannot by definition exist. Since god already knows exactly what is going to occur, you don't have any choice in the outcome. The only way you would have free will is if you could do something that god could not predict, and therefor he would not be god.
Really to be honest christianity didn't deserve respect before this, so I see no reason why it should receive it afterward.
Bad arguement, knowing the future is not against free will. I know the Jets will not win the superbowl, does that mean they don't have free will? If this god knows what you will do, it doesn't mean you don't have choices, it just means he knows the choices you will make.
Not saying any of it is real, but we do need sound arguments to beat back the born again nuts.
@FindingMattch Yes, actually. Satin was basically a lawyer, you would go to the gates of heaven and satin would list your sins before it was decided if you enter. He wasn't evil, he told the truth. It was the Catholic church that turned the idea of Satin into some kind of evil dude. There was no hell before Catholics invented it.
Do you mean Satan? Anyway, I respect Christianity as much as Islam or Judaism. All are mythology, but for some reason, people still believe several thousand year old bronze age tall tales. Maybe it just comforts people? Maybe it gives people a feeling that they are more than they are? Or that they will not really die? Ricky is a brilliant comedian.

@Knalgin69 yeah but the whole "you can do what you want, but if you don't do what i tell you then i will punish you" isn't really fit the definition of "free will".

I don't get it, is he mocking God or proving it? I stand for God and for people who say there's "no evidence": first, where is the REAL evolutionary evidence( and NOT stupid pig teeth and all the other crap) and two, research the bibles' history an you'll find evidence. Three, if it "isn't real" then how come it was in existence since the near first records of time? Btw, I just want to say that carbon dating DOESN'T work...just to throw that in there...
@N4t3shannon Ricky is an Atheist he's just taking the piss, no harm meant just fun, if you actually believe the earth is 6,000yrs old and we all came from Adam & Eve and Noah's Ark was real! there's really no point in expalining taxonomy, morphology mytrocondrial DNA, retro viruses, Talpids, syncronised menstruation, why yawns are infectious, blind cave fish, flightless birds, recurrent laryngeal nerve,optically stimulated luminescence dosimeter, stars millions of light years away, etc, to you

@N4t3shannon "then how come it was in existence since the near first records of time?".... hmmm bible approx 1500 bc... evidence of human farming circa 8000 BC...
Stand-up comedians like Bill Hicks, Eddie Izzard, and Ricky Gervais are truly brilliant men, and being comedians, all they do is try and put the thought of God into perspective...and if you think about it...creationism is rather absurd.
Read The Bible People! It is a great read if you are into fantasy novels...
@casualvideos also a really good fantasy read, any book that starts "Billions of Years Ago". As in "Once upon a time" or "Long ago in a galaxy far far away"...
@casualvideos Ha Ha. Ricky is a very funny guy. I love the podcasts, the office, extras. All our frickin hilarious. But he's a weak stand up and not in the same league as Hicks and Izzard. Science is really quite rubbish. And to point out the absurdity of creationalism is pretty obvious really. It don't take a genius.
I believe in God and jesus is Lord. I found its a waste of time to argue and talk to people like this. I spend my time sharing with others that are open to hearing the truth. These people just want to argue. I dont waste my time returning there questions.
Amen brother. You know the truth and I know the truth. Share you wisdom with someone that is open to hearing it. Most of these people have there heart closed and are angry or in denial. They will all be on there knees soon praising God as Lord.
The comment below was aimed at tomcamp6023's "I'm a creationist and fundamentalist etc etc".. sorry for youtube arguing everyone but fundamentalist christians who voice there opinions too much are my weak point!
Ricky gervais believes and know there is God. He is spending his whole life rebelling against what he knows to be true and making a fool of himself. He is reading the bibe without a real clue of what it mean.
people who believe in god are intrinsically insecure. They yearn for acceptance and validity. they can not abide the thought of their lives going unobserved and being devoid of reason, other than procreation
I tend to keep out of discussions on my videos when two people are "locking horns" over a topic, but because you keep marking comments as "spam" when they are quite obviously not shows the weaknesses in your arguments
You can lead a horse to water but you cant make them drink. Im not into back and fourth. Is God real or not. I have proof in what happened to me that he is real. Supernatural. You would not believe but its real. So if you dont want to believe ok. But if this happened to you. You would want to share this and let everyone know. If you found out something so powerful and life changing would you keep it to yourself. I cant .
"You can lead a horse to water but you cant make them drink. Im not into back and fourth. Is God real or not. I have proof in what happened to me that he is real. Supernatural"
Fair enough, but you have to give Tom Cruise and Joseph smith the same indulgence when they tell you with sincerity their revelations are real and then there are people who swear they have seen ghosts, the loch ness monster and Elvis, I'm no knocking you, I just find it extremely unlikely
Good point. But there are not millions of people that have seen elvis or the loch ness monster. There are millions or people that have turned there life over to God and have felt the exact same things I have. I also believe when you want to believe something you can make it real in your mind. I have experienced that before and this is not even close to what it is like. Do you know who Ricky Gervais think created him.
"Good point. But there are not millions of people that have seen elvis or the loch ness monster"
Millions of people are not brainwashed into thinking Elvis or the loch ness monster are real and if you don't believe you will go to hell from the age of three! you cannot leave that out of the equation, that's how you get people to fly planes into buildings
Woah! I didn't realize you were a creationist! Joseph Priestly discovered oxygen why should anyone believe him? because the evidence and availability for empirical experimentation to prove it, Darwin may have stumbled on evolution, but it's backed up by every biology department in every credible university in the world, you would see a serial killer executed on DNA evidence, yet when the SAME geneticist tells you with equal certainty we share an ancestor with apes you choose not to believe them
Discovered oxygen? You cant discover something that has alway been there. He might have come up with a name for it but we have been breathing it for years. Who discovered the sun? Darwin was one man and was on cocaine most of his life. He was crazy by the end of his life. A theory of evolution. The world is corrupt and there are always people trying
there hardest to disprove God. Not going to happen.
Your ranting now my friend I'm off to bed, but to put you right he discovered oxygen, he didn't invent it that's where you're making a mistake, you question about who discovered the sun is infantile, the sun has always been obvious so had no need for discovery, helium was discovered by observing the sun using tools not available in past times, I'll not be getting into a discussion with you, you seemed like a decent bloke who happened to believe in god, now I see your a fundamentalist crackpot.
"Im a fundalmentalist. If you think you could change that you need to grow up. Ok mate"
fortunately people like you don't shape society, if the medical profession thought like you we would still be eating the heart of a black ass to cure epilepsy, Oops! did I say epilepsy, I meant to drive out the evil spirits, I'm still shocked that you didn't realise the oxygen molecule was discovered, I suppose Newton never discovered gravity. "I was never taught anything" you're not kidding mate
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I see your getting alittle angry. Sorry if I upset you mate. You cant discover something that is already there. He named it but its always been there and God created it. You are as dumb as a box of rocks. You are dumb as a box or rocks mate.
Seeing as you never answer any questions I will try a blunt question, is this god of yours omniscient or omnipotent ?(I'm assuming you know what that means)
"I see your getting alittle angry. Sorry if I upset you mate"
not angry just frustrated, I don't know how primary school teachers do it, but then I suppose children are willing to learn, you have a child's outlook without the wonder or desire to learn
"You cant discover something that is already there"
So I guess the word discover should be removed from the dictionary because according to you no one can ever discover anything, so no one discovered the dead sea scrolls and no one discovered penicillin, if you were any dumber someone would have to water you twice a week.

You spend your time hating God and I spend my time loving God . There is hope for you. Confess you sins and give your life over to Christ. Im not angry. I just feel bad for you. I will not be reply to you anymore. Goodbye .
"You spend your time hating God and I spend my time loving God . There is hope for you. Confess you sins and give your life over to Christ. Im not angry. I just feel bad for you. I will not be reply to you anymore. Goodbye"
lol, just because you can't answer the omniscient/omnipotent question, I thought you might at least have had a go
@hughjarrse don't feel bad for me...your God doesn't care anyway. I have nothing to confess because we are all human and make mistakes. few questions... 1) can people walk on water these days??? 2) Is imaculate conception a part of human fucnctioning in todays society...
@MarkusZatac You don't hate God, you hate religion. I've been an atheist most of my life, but I recently came around to another way of looking at things. Believe based on your experiences, not on a 2000-year-old text. I see life as being like water in a bottle. Outside the bottle is God, but in this life, there is no God, and so there is no proof. But pre-birth, and death, that's where God is. A sense of something greater, that's what I believe in. None of that religious shit.
@BlueVane "A sense of something greater, that's what I believe in." Why do you believe in something you do not know? "But pre-birth, and death, that's where God is" What god?
@MarkusZatac That's literally what I said to somebody on Youtube a few weeks ago! xD
- I believe in that sense because I feel it, or at least I perceive that feeling as being a sense of something greater.
- My definition of "God" isn't the traditional sense. I don't mean an all-knowing deity that has a master plan and watches over us all, controlling everything. Rather, I mean "God" as in that "something greater". A force that propels us to experience life, and then return to nothingness.
@reedo1703 Well, like I said, I'm non-religious, but I'd definitely call myself spiritual, and that's a big theme in Buddhism. I've always been fond of the Buddhist religion though, it takes a different approach than the more traditional ones.
@MarkusZatac Ahh! I see your mistake, you think I said that, although they're small there are quotation marks in my post I was replying to someone's comment
@MarkusZatac the proof is in His book and it IS by faith we are saved. i'm not here to debate markus, i believe in God. what/who do you believe in and why? no anomosity is necessary. i really just want to know.
@ottie0420 First of all it felt like you insulted me. That is why you got the animosity. I do not believe in god, it is in my view that such a being don't exist. Whatever we want to think it does not matter, because life shows that god does not run our daily life's. I have never agreed with religion, I am much happier not living the lie. I have one life only and I am not gonna waist it on delusional fantasy. The bible is a book and not proof of god, to many problems with it.
@tomcamp6023 >>> Unfortunately you are a very mixed up person and I feel
sorry for you and people like you but there's still hope as it is never too late to change your ways and rely on what can be scientifically proven. Science is the only way to help anyone discover the truth. Science is now, and even more so the future.
"You spend your time living in the real world, I spend my time fortifying my house of cards. There is hope for you. Submit your will to the church and give your life to the priests. I'm not angry, I'm just really condescending, and my faith has been shaken by your comments, thusly I won't engage anymore."
@tomcamp6023 saying to pple you KNOW that God exist but you just don't wanna admit it doesn't mean anything, i could say to u, u know God doesn't exists but you are too scared to accept the truth.
As an atheist i am free and willing to accept any God and any religion as long as you show me the evidence that YOUR particular God and religion is the right one and give me the reasons why all others are bullshit and saying its written in a 2000 year old book is not good enough
In other words you're a closed minded, deluded individual who doesn't accept scientific discovery which has been validated and PROVEN by fair and balanced experiments. You would prefer to believe a load of stories written thousands of years ago by people that thought a thunderstorm was god getting angry. Everybody is entitled to an opinion, but yours is the kind of opinion best kept to yourself.
Ok you can think we evolved from a monkey and live your life on a theory. Darwins theory has been debunked. Darwin at the end of his life professed he sorry and loves God. Just like you will.
No, he discovered oxygen. Just like Newton discovered gravity. Both had "always been there" as you put it, but they discovered the nature of the phenomena and acurately described it to the world.
Oh yeah, and nobody is trying to disprove god, because there's no need to. No evidence that he exists in the first place. It would be like trying to disprove invisible pink unicorns.
Its funny you talk about Ghost. I have seen and experienced these things. So I can know relate to people that have seen so called Ghosts. I didnt want to believe or ever think of believing in spirits but it happened and it was awesome. Happened After the Holy spirit entered my body. I was also able to do many things that I couldnt before. Gifts . I had no idea what this was and I read up on it and that happens . Sounds crazy but it happeneds.
...which is a truly self-defeating statement if it turns out in the end that we're right and there's no god. Wouldn't you like to hedge your bets? As you lot love to say, "What if you're wrong?"
I have faith and have the Holy Spirit in me. Can you imagine what that feels like. AWESOME. If you say I'm wrong as you say. I lived a great life and am enjoying every minute. NO REGRETS. God is awesome
LOL. Understand you have no idea what you are talking about. The courts uses the bible and God everyday. You take that pledge when you testify. Oath to God are lord. Jesus Christ. Everyone I know go to a Christian school where they study the bible and pray to God everyday and its awesome.
Most politicians take an oath of office and put there hand on the bible and that bible has a God and his name is Jesus. My money has God on it and it great. Glory to God. Last time I will replying to you because you make no sense and I can see your really angry. breathe and goodluck there little buddy.
"Everyone I know go to a Christian school where they study the bible and pray to God everyday and its awesome."
As long as my tax dollars aren't funding those schools, they can learn any ridiculous nonsense they want there. It may be detrimental towards those children's futures. But that's not an immediate problem of mine.
When you have to comment on my grammer or spelling, that means you ran out of things to say. Goodluck . God wants you and if you ask him he will be there.
I usually don't comment on grammar or spelling. But that was REALLY REALLY bad. Sorry. In fairness to me "running out of things to say," I DID write at least three valid argument surrounding my critique of your spelling and grammar to which you haven't responded. So who is running out of things to say?
BTW, I'm a very open-minded chap. So much so, that given the slightest possibility that God existed, and obviously if he did, I WOULD want to be saved, I asked him, and have sever times in fact, to demonstrate his existence to me somehow. A sincere request that he at least show me he exists so I can choose whether or not to worship him, rather than be stuck being unaware of him as I am now. Guess what he responded. I'll give you a hint. It rhymes with...
Some are like that. Others are just brainwashed. I've honestly noticed no constants between theists apart from their irrational belief in gods. Some are smart, some are dumb, some are nice, some are mean, some use their religion as a tool for their lives, others are tools OF their religion. It all depends on the person. The only constant is that, on this one particular issue, they don't really care whether they're right or wrong.
"Hey mate God created you. Are you rebelling against your father. MATE"
Absolutely not mate! what would be the point in rebelling against a fictional literary character? I may as well get annoyed with bugs bunny when he turns left at Albuquerque, everyone knows you should turn right at Albuquerque! but to clarify my position if someone expected me to believe bugs bunny was real and was in fact my father, I would find it quite wearing after the initial humor had worn off, Cheers MATE!
I feel a bit bad bashing you, but you declared "God created you and he is awesome. Ricky Gervais is not intelligent. He is actually the exact opposite" so you opened this duologue we're having, and you seem to have missed the point, Gervais is basically just reading the bible, it's not the bible it's self that is ridiculous, after all it's just a book, the unfathomable part is that people take it seriously despite the myriad of contradictions and falsehoods contained in it.
"You are in a tribute band and you are judging Tom Cruise?"
Of course I'm not in a U2 tribute band! I thought you were getting at my screen name, I was having a bit of fun with you , if you were having a go at ItsChristOnaBike you obviously don't know that "Christ on a bike" is an English expression of incredulity, quite apt really, given the subject of our discussion, take it easy matey
God does not make deals. When you are ready to give 100 percent of yourself to God he will be there. He knows your heart and your mind and there is no playing God. Goodluck with your journey.
Why would that be relevant to Ricky Gervais? He was born in a country where people used to believe in the bible and many people know the bible stories/myths, how could he do a routine mocking Islam if 90% of his audience would have no idea what he was on about?
This is sooo funny!! You have to be really smart to be this funny!!
And for all you offended Christians out there: FYI, Old Testament has nothing to do with Christianity so stop wining. It talks about things that "happened" way before Christianity and is actually the backbone of the Jewish faith which is the faith from which both Christianity(Jesus was Jewish, remember?) and Islam evolved.

Stand-up comedians like Bill Hicks, Eddie Izzard, and Ricky Gervais are truly brilliant men, and being comedians, all they do is try and put the thought of God into perspective...and if you think about it...creationism is rather absurd.
Read The Bible People! It is a great read if you are into fantasy novels...

Science is really quite rubbish. And to point out the absurdity of creationalism is pretty obvious really. It don't take a genius.

"You can lead a horse to water but you cant make them drink. Im not into back and fourth. Is God real or not. I have proof in what happened to me that he is real. Supernatural"
Fair enough, but you have to give Tom Cruise and Joseph smith the same indulgence when they tell you with sincerity their revelations are real and then there are people who swear they have seen ghosts, the loch ness monster and Elvis, I'm no knocking you, I just find it extremely unlikely
hughjarrse 2 years ago
Good point. But there are not millions of people that have seen elvis or the loch ness monster. There are millions or people that have turned there life over to God and have felt the exact same things I have. I also believe when you want to believe something you can make it real in your mind. I have experienced that before and this is not even close to what it is like. Do you know who Ricky Gervais think created him.

Discovered oxygen? You cant discover something that has alway been there. He might have come up with a name for it but we have been breathing it for years. Who discovered the sun? Darwin was one man and was on cocaine most of his life. He was crazy by the end of his life. A theory of evolution. The world is corrupt and there are always people trying
there hardest to disprove God. Not going to happen.
tomcamp6023 2 years ago
Your ranting now my friend I'm off to bed, but to put you right he discovered oxygen, he didn't invent it that's where you're making a mistake, you question about who discovered the sun is infantile, the sun has always been obvious so had no need for discovery, helium was discovered by observing the sun using tools not available in past times, I'll not be getting into a discussion with you, you seemed like a decent bloke who happened to believe in god, now I see your a fundamentalist crackpot.

@MarkusZatac You don't hate God, you hate religion. I've been an atheist most of my life, but I recently came around to another way of looking at things. Believe based on your experiences, not on a 2000-year-old text. I see life as being like water in a bottle. Outside the bottle is God, but in this life, there is no God, and so there is no proof. But pre-birth, and death, that's where God is. A sense of something greater, that's what I believe in. None of that religious shit.

@BlueVane "A sense of something greater, that's what I believe in." Why do you believe in something you do not know? "But pre-birth, and death, that's where God is" What god?
MarkusZatac 1 year ago
@MarkusZatac That's literally what I said to somebody on Youtube a few weeks ago! xD
- I believe in that sense because I feel it, or at least I perceive that feeling as being a sense of something greater.
- My definition of "God" isn't the traditional sense. I don't mean an all-knowing deity that has a master plan and watches over us all, controlling everything. Rather, I mean "God" as in that "something greater". A force that propels us to experience life, and then return to nothingness.

@ottie0420 First of all it felt like you insulted me. That is why you got the animosity. I do not believe in god, it is in my view that such a being don't exist.

I have one life only and I am not gonna waist it on delusional fantasy. The bible is a book and not proof of god, to many problems with it.

2) Your beliefs have no bearing on anyone without your beliefs. I will not go to hell just because you believe I will.

Some are like that. Others are just brainwashed. I've honestly noticed no constants between theists apart from their irrational belief in gods. Some are smart, some are dumb, some are nice, some are mean, some use their religion as a tool for their lives, others are tools OF their religion. It all depends on the person. The only constant is that, on this one particular issue, they don't really care whether they're right or wrong.
