@@haven600 does he read the bible there? I thought the whole thing was he discussing stuff with Karl and that other talk dude

@@guilhermefranco2930 he mentions excerpts and brings up Noah's ark

Ricky wishes he had written this line. 😂

Douglas Adams ghostwrote this. Literally, he's dead.

read the first chapter better, and go further into context.

@@thebuildingground380 - I read Genesis. The all knowing all powerful all loving God created everything but didn’t like how the people he created turned out and blamed them for acting just like he knew they would. So he decided to cold bloodily drown everyone and all the animals to cover up his screwup, but then idiotically decided to start over again using the same flawed stock. So he put a genetically insufficient sample on a boat... Seriously dude, how can you believe this nonsense is how the universe actually works?

​@@A1Skeptic You read genesis in your own view dude. Instead of assuming that since it's the most logical thing in your head, research maybe, listen to other people, you basically didn't go into context at all.

Thanks. I skipped accordingly.

Sounds like a science class from Catholic private school

nothing escapes you

@@punishmentforall The first part is funny too.

I fucken died laughing🤣

@@julians.2597 because back then it was believed that soul stays in the body for three days after death, therefore if done before somebody could say that Jesus was somehow alive. Though He was not. Thus the ressurection.

@@88skydiver He's pointing out logical flaws in a Bronze Aged book responsible for innumerable deaths and pain. It doesn't take rocket science to see the fallacies.

Ain't that a mood

Said it once, say it again, Ricky Gervais sometimes sound like George Carlin

Yep, we actually see how God would've probably have caused two Big Bangs to happen, one with stuff life molecules, as Heaven and Earth were created in the Beginning first. Then, God created light, which would've introduced all of the radioactive/microwaves. This is what most Atheists consider to be the Big Bang.

Well that’s only because the person who was there writing this all down, didn’t have the opportunity to hear god speak sound into existence before sound existed. So unfortunately the story has to start after sound was created. 😂🤣😂🤣

@@LKBaird2016 haha, that made my day, although I sprayed my drink over my screen. Thx, had a good laugh.

@M. Faith "Genesis is talking about when God created earth." In the same book which claims : - pi = 3 - whales are fish - bats are birds - shower of bird's blood cures leprosy - animals mating in front of stripped foliage get stripped offsprings Very reliable !

Locnar The guide to life, when a religious person starts preaching to you, tell em the one true prophet is Muhammad

I don't think you could listen to The book of Numbers if God read it to you himself. So and so be got so and so who be got so and so is the entirety of the book of Numbers. I'd watch a video of a bunch of people knowing each other but I don't want to see any videos of people begotting each other. And I certainly don't want to read about it show me a joke about how women consume p*** in a different way than men watch videos and women read books like fifty shades of Gray but no one on earth is getting off to the book of Numbers

@Lord Methane someone's got their panties in a bunch

@Lord Methane you may have misread what I said. I said they were your panties. Why would I keep them to myself?

@Lord Methane well the pronoun "their" can be used either in a plural manner or to refer to someone or something that is being talked about but not to. Of course, you would know that if you passed middle school English. Edit: "but" instead of "and" for clarity

Don't you have an imagination?

I hope he does too I hope he studies it and hopefully realize his atheism is completely wrong

​@@RS__7 I think what you meant to say was: "I hope Ricky continues to study the Bible, but changes his mind and agrees that the story my group told me to follow is the truth. Otherwise I'm going to keep judging him for his anti-religious beliefs...because I was told that I know better than him" You don't. You're full of it, and the type of Christian that gives the rest of us a bad look. Why don't you lighten up a bit...or stick to safe comedy...like maybe Jeff Dunham or Larry the Cable Guy?

@@zeked4200 I've been a big fan of Gervais since the office...and back then when he did his Animals stand-up show I pretty much agreed with him I would say I was more agnostic rather than full-blown atheist ... But when you come to truth it becomes excruciating to watch someone be so wrong and I'd be able to counter every argument he makes and make him look silly in the process.. And I used to think he was extremely intelligent and edgy back then when I was just a teenager...he is intelligent just not on this topic....But I feel like he's so close after that outburst at the Oscars ... I really hope he comes to the truth that evil is real when that happens it's just a matter of time if he keeps pursuing truth....And I hope the Covid thing opened his eyes to how corrupt and weak these so called scientists are

Sounds a bit laborious? Using each page as dunny roll, and quoting it's script before wiping one's butt would be interesting.

@Nybbl er quite so.

Your god?

Yes, next time he's going to give the Koran the same treatment... before he goes into permanent hiding.

I'll put Ricky up there with George Carlin and Bill Hicks.

And all completely unrehearsed.

Mr XYZ was the imposter

You can say a similar thing about bullies in movies. There are probably tons of kids out there who are psychologically (or physically) tormenting their classmates but don't even think of themselves as "bullies" because they're not stuffing kids in lockers or trying to commit vehicular manslaughter (80's movies get dark)

@@FairyRat Interesting article. Thanks for sharing. I think the point is well made that it is obvious humanity will not ALWAYS resort to the vilest, evilest sides of their nature. At the same time, I would disagree with his conclusion that humanity is a wholesome and loving bunch. One only needs to look at the news to see that to be false. I think the better conclusion to draw from both the hypothetical and the real example of boys trapped on an island is that we have a choice to be nasty or nice. To deny that each one of us CAN be a monster is almost as foolish as to say that each one is.

The three of them on their podcasts Steve Rick and Karl have me in stitches all the time

You follow him to a very dark place.

He's funny was a huge fan in my teens and 20's but thankfully I come to realize he's a complete fool if he thinks their is no God.....there's so many christians and people of other faiths that could completely dismantle him and make him look silly. Atheism is really really dumb

Yeah, I mean really he's just mocking a very literal interpretation of the Bible. Most "atheists" when you scrub the surface are actually like us in Sweden: 👁 👁 👁️ 👁️ 👁 👁 👄 👄 👄 We don't deny that there's a God

@Apollo Jones It's a tough one - I'm thinking about dark matter & dark energy and quantum weirdness - so much we can't test and yet we build our understanding of the universe on it. That's why in Sweden we tend not to confirm or deny. Your approach is scientifically valid, though not necessarily the most rational for a lot of people. By rational, I just mean a way of thinking that allows us to get on with our lives. For the scientist, your approach is an absolute necessity. When I'm lying on my deathbed and have nothing else to contribute, I might allow myself to hope for a heaven, just to make it through the last hours. 👁 👁 👁️ 👁️ 👁 👁 👄 👄 👄 Similar to a scientist using dark matter to explain how stars move in a galaxy - it might be a dead end or it could lead us to truth.

@Apollo Jones Absence of evidence is not evidence of absense. I am not religious either, but I do think atheistism puts a little bit too much faith in our tiny little human science brains.

@Apollo Jones I dont know if a higher being exists or not. That's the point. Until humans understand where matter came from and how, to be an atheist is simply human arrogance.

@Apollo Jones I dont disagree with you. Atheism has a specific meaning though.

And holy beers and potato chips for everyone, I'm in.

Well, if we go to the Bible, it warns of drunkeness, most famously would probably be 1 Corinthians 6:10: "Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God". So, God does not like people getting wasted. And who can blame Him for that? Ever tried being sober around drunk people? We do tend to become obnoxious, do stupid things, say stupid things and so forth when we are drunk. Does that mean we can't have a beer? Well, if you get drunk on one beer, then it does, but for most people that would not be the case. Moderation is the key word.

@@WeldingForJesus On the other hand, a lot of people would say that folks who go around quoting the bible to people who neither asked for nor expressed any interest in it are even more obnoxious. Abstinence is the key there.

Yeah. I saw a video talking about how they keep making King Kong bigger (now, so he can fight Godzilla), but they want to keep recreating the iconic shot of him holding the woman. Originally, she was (compared to a human) the size of a Barbie doll, but now she should be about the size of a thimble. At least, that's the premise of that video essay.

Is that the one about some guy translating the bible into hebrew?

So then go to his fate too if you think he's so great. How did he get around the first verses of the bible with God creating and giving life? Real science says nothing does nothing. Real science says if there was something there already it must fit with the evidence of what we know. We know the 1LT says there's a conservation of energy. It can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. Creation cannot happen by natural means. The 2LT has various aspects, one being the universe is winding down, entropy. Usable energy is becoming less usable, so at one point usable energy was at its max. This all points to a supernatural creation, by a supernatural creator at a certain point in which matter, space, and time were created. When I read how it can happen otherwise, ALL the fools resort to science-fiction. Once a supernatural creation is accepted, then the next step is finding proof of what supernatural power did it. We KNOW these laws. We have NO doubts about them. We also KNOW that the laws of nature can't come about without a Lawgiver, God. Life only comes from life. Law of biogenesis. God is the reason for us and all we have. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JiMqzN_YSXU.html The odds are NOT there. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-W1_KEVaCyaA.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yW9gawzZLsk.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ddaqSutt5aw.html

@@2fast2block From what I understand, you are looking at comics for scientific answers. The Big Bang was not the origin of the universe, rather it's an explanation of how our current universe came to be, and of course it's mentioned all over science that we don't know what happened before that, but that's why we are sending space telescopes like Hubble and James Web, so they can help us to learn about our early universe. And you are suggesting that the universe exists because of some supernatural being. So how about asking the same question about that supernatural being's origin, and why is that supernatural being eathernal? And what if there is another creator of that supernatural being? The same question can be repeated about that supernatural being. Many people who believe in God ask the question how something comes from nothing, and of course it's a misinterpretation of real science because science never said that something comes from nothing, but rather religious people come to that conclusion. Real science never said something comes from nothing, but rather the universe comes from a single dense point in space, and the real question is where that single dense point comes from, which is something science is currently trying to answer. And I have a question for religious people. Can God make a being more powerful than himself? If not, then God can not do anything. And if he can, then he is not the most powerful.

@@nofreewill "The Big Bang was not the origin of the universe," Liar, for laughs show me where I said it was or just keep on strawmaning because you have nothing to get around what I gave. "So how about asking the same question about that supernatural being's origin," You are a graduate of Nitwit University. All you have to do is remember "Who created God?" and you can mix things up a bit with the same basic question. All the laws of nature somehow suddenly disappear for you dolts, that one stoo-pid question is your cure-all. So in your way of shallow thinking, if a supernatural creator created the natural realm, then that supernatural creator who created the natural realm with its natural laws has then become also bound by those natural laws the supernatural creator created. So explain why a supernatural creator is also bound by the laws the supernatural creator created. Or, show how smart you are and just give your science for creation happening naturally and don't forget to give your science how the natural laws were created, too. If you want to act smart, it may be a good idea to actually show you are. "Real science never said something comes from nothing" You have your side with the fake science. That's why you can't get around real science I gave. Hawking, "Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing," he writes. "Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist." Richard Dawkins sums it up in his afterword: “Even the last remaining trump card of the theologian, ‘Why is there something rather than nothing?,’ shrivels up before your eyes as you read these pages. If ‘On the Origin of Species’ was biology’s deadliest blow to super­naturalism, we may come to see ‘A Universe From Nothing’ as the equivalent from cosmology. The title means exactly what it says. And what it says is ­devastating.” Yep. again..."The title means exactly what it says." Dawkins' "literally nothing": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UT3dfPOdAYU.html Dawkins and Krauss comedy of what nitwits they are: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-S497IPbfpoo.html Richard Dawkins’ commentary on the origin of the universe: “Of course it’s counterintuitive that you can get something from nothing. Of course common sense doesn’t allow you to get something from nothing. That's why it's interesting. It's got to be interesting in order to give rise to the universe at all. Something pretty mysterious had to give rise to the origin of the universe." Lawrence Krauss wrote a book A Universe From Nothing that is something he prefers to call nothing. A nothing with space, matter, and time that somehow created space, matter, and time. “But scientists have known for centuries that nothing is the key to understanding absolutely everything, from why particles have mass to the expansion of the universe - so without nothing we’d be precisely nowhere.” (New Scientist Promotions, 21 October 2013) “We started from literally nothing; from empty spacetime containing solely the energy of the quantum vacuum, and have arrived at our Universe today, with its billions of galaxies, stars, and all that ever was or will be here on Earth. (The Physics of Nothing; The Philosophy of Everything, August 16, 2011) Alan Guth, “The universe burst into something from absolutely nothing-zero, nada. And as it got bigger, it became filled with even more stuff that came from absolutely nowhere." "In 1973, I proposed that our Universe had been created spontaneously from nothing (ex nihilo), as a result of established principles of physics. This proposal variously struck people as preposterous, enchanting, or both." Edward P. Tryon, 'What Made the World?" New Scientist "It’s then tempting to go one step further and speculate that the entire universe evolved from literally nothing." Alan Guth, Scientific American, 1996 ‘This “quantum cosmology” provides a loophole for the universe to, so to speak, spring into existence from nothing, without violating any laws of physics.’ Paul Davies You are really stoooo-pid.

As a christian you should know that your faith is not only silly, it also provides extremists a base to exist. Religion is a bad thing for humanity.

Marcel Kuizenga I fundamentally disagree. What makes it silly?

@@noisy.pineapples the fact you just believe an old book because that book tells you it's real. Besides there are so many religions, and they all claim the truth based on nothing. Religious people can't see the world as it is because they already concluded their specific god is real. Despite there's not even the slightest evidence of any god being real. Basing your life on a faith is dangerous to us all. Religion makes people cut of clitorises and foreskins. And you wonder why it's silly?

@@marcelkuizenga I don't just believe an old book. I believe it is a reliable book because of its historical accuracy and the number of copies dating as far back as they do. There is also plenty of evidence of God being real. It philosophically just makes sense and I'd be more than happy to explore those arguments with you. We all have different ways of viewing the world, religious or not. You view the world the way you do because you don't believe in a god and I see the world the way I do because I see it as created by God. Also female circumcision is not actually a Biblical teaching, and male circumcision is not a Biblical commandment to anyone other than the Jewish people.

@@noisy.pineapples If you're talking Old Testament before record keeping was how it was during the New Testament, then historical accuracy is not true. I mean, we know we evolved now along with other animals, we know the Hebrews weren't slaves for 400-480 years and then had a mass Exodus with 600,000 men and even more women and children. We know the Tower of Babel story didn't happen, as languages existed well before that and, surprisingly, no one in history seemed to have any problems with random languages popping up, almost as if it didn't happen. The global flood and Noah's Ark? Absolutely no proof, but even more proof against it. How is this historical accuracy? Shouldn't a god, especially Yahweh, know the history of the world? There's also some changes to the Bible throughout history, though many are more subtle. Notably, the ending of Mark was added at a later date, and the details only grew from then on, adding more and more fantastical things to the story. We know this because we know when they were written, some 30+ years after Jesus' life. We just haven't found any of that evidence, then. Many things can make sense, depending on how you think about it or what you know. Some think the Earth is flat, some think it's a giant turtle in space, some think space doesn't even exist. It all makes sense to them, philosophically, but there's no evidence for any of those positions.

I know right!! And in that famous poem “The Raven”, Edgar Allan Poe says that the Raven clearly said “Nevermore” multiple times. A raven speaking English!? Fark me, how can we trust the rest of the poem?? Have a listen to BEMA Podcast, easy to find on the main podcast apps.

Christians don't believe that God created hell and sends people there.

God wants the deepest happiness for everyone, but since he is happiness himself, the only thing he can do if someone rejects him is to let them put themselves as far away from him as they can.
