There's a xtian radio station here in the UK called Premier, and each weekend they have a show which pits a xtian vs. a non-xtian. This week they had some evangelical type called Nigel Desborough against an atheist, and he came up with this beauty:

There couldn't have been a Big Bang because noise can't travel in a vacuum, and therefore there could be no "bang".

Yes, he really said that.
 
I bet he hears an inner dialogue in his head. That would be noise in a vacuum. How does he explain that?
 
I wouldn't be able to respond to that.

I'd be too gobsmacked to speak.

Which, unfortunately, would be seen as your scientific point being destroyed.

They don't win by superior knowledge, but by superior stupidity. The dumber they can make it, the better they fare.

Well, to take something this silly seriously almost hurts, but the correct riposte, IMHO, would be:

"So, if I can explain why vacuum was no problem, would you accept the big bang theory?"

Yes true to some extent but say... So the space shuttle can't blow up in space because there is no sound in space.. Let's ponder that for 10 seconds.. (Quiet for ten seconds). If he interjects he's on the defensive making him vulnerable. You can always respond, "wait I'm still pondering" in the proper tone.. LOL
 
I wonder if he knows that Lemaitre was a Roman Catholic priest? I feel all will slipping from me. My brain hurts, my brain hurts.
 
Hi. I interpret every scientific term literally, just like I do the Bible. The Big Bang must have been a noise. And matter is made up of seabird cheers, or perhaps European cheese.

No, he wouldn't. Because he would cling on to the word "BANG", and accuse scientists of moving the goal posts.

It isn't a question of it being able to blow up, but whether it can make a sound or not. He is right, in his own perverted sense: The Big Bang could not have made a sound - but, as you, and everyone with a critical mind, knows - that's not the point.

Only, he doesn't want to know what the point is. Big Bang? Huge Kablooie! Major Whammy! Hubba-Dubba-MothaF**kah!

Call it what you like.

String theory, I assumed. String cheese - string theory.

I think that's Armenian (the string cheese, that is). Is Armenia in Europe? I thinkof it as being in Asia, I'll have to see which side of the Urals it's on.

Hehe, priceless.

Ignorant Creationist: There could have been no "big bang" because sound can't travel in space!

Someone "Of A Scientific Mind": According to your religion, there's a sea of water above the sky, which is a transparent "vault" holding it back.
 
There couldn't be a Big Bang, cause it takes two to bang and reproduce. Athiests and evolutionists are so dumb, they think 'one' can bang alone, and then explode into all the Universe, and be fruitful and multiply. We have to teach these nonX'ers about the facts of life, and how to bang in rthymn and harmony.

But then again, it might mean they would reproduce into more non thinking atheists...... and we would have to teach their next generation how to bang again. Darn, they just don't get it.
