Science seeks the truth. And it does not discriminate. For better or worse it finds things out. Science is humble. It knows what it knows and it knows what it doesnโt know. It bases its conclusions and beliefs on hard evidence -ยญ- evidence that is constantly updated and upgraded. It doesnโt get offended when new facts come along. It embraces the body of knowledge. It doesnโt hold on to medieval practices because they are tradition.
Ricky GervaisBeing an atheist makes someone a clearer thinking, fairer person. They [atheists] are not doing things to be rewarded in heaven; they're doing things because they're right, because they live by a moral code.
Ricky GervaisNo one wants to see cool people doing brilliantly. I want to see the struggle. That's the fun bit.
Ricky GervaisHotel bars are pretty good. No one bothers me there. Restaurants are safe. People are quite respectful when you're eating. But what I never do now is go to a busy bar on the weekend, or after 8 o'clock at night. That's the danger zone. Also being trapped. Never go on the Metro, or a bus.
