If only everyone was able to debate like this.

I think the key is they aren’t debating. It’s two smart men who respect one another’s beliefs having a conversation.

Can't stick Colbert, but he came across pretty good in this, at least open to the other side.

I ❤️ Ricky Gervais. But he is not quite correct. As Einstein & others recognized when they began speaking about “spooky action” & was refined into quantum mechanics, there are aspects of universe beyond our capability to explain by any persuasive scientific principle. So …

Just look around you. The evidence of a creator is everywhere.

Yes, great discussion, but you're wrong about every science book being the same a thousand years later. There have been numerous "facts" that have been disproven or our understanding has expanded causing us to realize that the science was wrong. Dr. Fauci is case and point. FYI, It was roughly 500 years ago that "Science" accepted the fact that the Earth was round. Science books before that argued vociferously that the Earth was flat. Science isn't a set of facts, its the evolution of human understanding of the world around us. Evolution being the operative word. Good debate though.

Weird how all the ancient people all ended up worshipping some kind of God despite not knowing there were other people out there and not being taught about God

Gervais puts forward two weak arguments that, upon further scrutiny, crumble.

I’m with Ricky.

It seems that in a thousand years, we'd still believe there is God, books, or not.

“That’s really good” the patronising twat
