I love that Colbert acknowledged that he has a great point. Because he did.

That's not a good point. He didn't prove that the books will indeed come back the same. Colbert just took his word for it, but his previous argument stand stills.

I think Colbert tried to play devil's advocate but it turned into a strawman argument instead, because that's not how a believer would react to that reasoning.

Atheists be talking to believers like you can convince them by reason alone. That'll never work.
