I always thought it would be astounding if they were able to go into space say 6,000 years at the speed of sound take a recording and litteraly hear "LET THERE BE LIGHT!" That would be hard to explain.
I had read somewere that they were trying to catch the Gettysberg Address using the same principle.

That's not how it works! Can you assholes ever get anything right? You know why we don't take you seriously when you bloviate about other shit you're wrong about (like homosexuality but for different reasons)? This is why. Because you show yourselves to be so fucking wrong about so many other things that it's just easier to assume you're wrong about everything else.
It just makes life easier.
Holy shit. Couldn't fail science harder if they slammed their dick in a textbook.
Also, where did you read that, The Onion?
Yes, it would be hard to explain. Quite impossible, in fact.
Shouldn't it have been "FIAT LUX!" just to give the Catholic clergy a thrill up their legs? Of course, this is UC Berkeley's motto and everyone (ahem, UCLA) knows the faculty and student body are all godless heathens.
i'm guessing he assumes that the gettysberg address was broadcast on radio, as nobody should be stupid enough to believe that sound travels through a vacuum. although, even if it was broadcast with enough strength, and some sort of ftl technology was made, the signal probably would have long since attenuated. good try though, especially for rapture ready.
The Gettysburg Address is the one that starts 'Fourscore and ten years ago ... ' isn't it?
The Gettysberg Address, however, is the one that goes
Mrs. E. Gettysberg
Um, not how things works. At all.
I'm sure God said "Let there be light!" in good ol' KJV English. Probably had a southern twang too.
Dipshit.
Wow, this person is really disturbed. Oh, what? Rapture Retards? Nevermind, that explains the apparent abuse of illegal drugs. Hooked on Jesus, he's better than Blow!
So Preserved, a Russian astrophysicist, and an American astrophysicist were talking.
Yes, that's exactly how it works.
Also if you live near the international dateline you can cross into tomorrow, get the lottery numbers, cross back, buy a ticket, and life a life of luxury and ease forever.
There's ignorance that we all have, that is, there are plenty of things we don't know, and that's fine. This, however, is sheer lunacy.

You'd think so, yet we've known of the cosmic microwave background radiation for decades, and yet here you are.

For starters physics doesn't work like that, but I doubt that you knew that since learning, well anything, seems to be an anathema at RR. And even if such non scientific drivel were even possible, what makes you think that "god" would speak english?

No you didn't, quit making shit up for jesus.
Your "holy book" and your "god" command you not to lie, but then you lie constantly, almost pathologically, in the name of your "god who you say commanded you not to lie". And you have the nerve to say that I'm the one going to hell. The arrogance that that infects RR is truly astounding. But what else can you expect that demands the one accept their dogmatic views of GTFO.
That might work on the Diskworld, with its weird physics. In our universe, not so much... The Listening Monks probably wouldn't accept a noisy moron like Preserved anyway. Of course, I can only encourage him to take a vow of silence :P
Someone must be playing AC/DC at the end of the universe. ;)
And remember everyone! 6,000 years is distance. A light year is a very long amount of time. ;P
^No, it's a unit of distance.
But God didn't say Let there be sound, drums, guitar, or rock yet.
I always thought it would be astounding if they were able to listen really carefully and hear the noise from the Big Bang--oh wait, you can. It's the CMB. Guess that's Science:1, Bible:0 for that round.
Ummm. I'm not a physicist, but I would think that even if I could travel into space for 6000 years at the speed of sound, I would not catch up to God saying 'Let There Be Light' since it had a 6000 year head start and is still traveling away from me at the speed of sound.
I'm just sayin'.
I don't mean to sound immature, but...
Seriously, though. That guy is either a poe or a retard.
So much Astronomical Fail.
That said, a comment:
It is possible to excite acoustic oscillations in the interplanetary and interstellar medium. But they have _very_ low frequency and _very_ long wavelength. No human is going to hear those sounds.

Were you in the checkout line at your local supermarket, perhaps?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
