Ricky Gervais and Richard Dawkins are both heavy-hitters in today's media landscape, albeit, for entirely different reasons. They've both got résumés so extensive that any brief summary would fail to do them justice. In case you've been living under a rock for the past decade, all you need to know is the Ricky Gervais is a comedian, and Richard Dawkins is an evolutionary biologist.

This clip is from a Dawkins documentary, Sex, Death and the Meaning of Life, which aired in three parts on Channel 4 a few years back. Dawkins uses these three chapters to look at the notion of sin, life after death, and the meaning of life itself. In the clip below, he has a conversation with Ricky Gervais that touches upon a lot of this. Let us know what you thought of Ricky's stance in the comments below, and be sure to share it with your friends on Facebook!
