In 2010 in the Wall Street Journal, outspoken atheist comedian Ricky Gervais said,
“I don’t believe in God because there is absolutely no scientific evidence for his existence and from what I’ve heard the very definition is a logical impossibility in this known universe”
Is Ricky Gervais right, or is it logical to believe in God?
