Sacred Snerkle?

I get it.

We like to think that the voice of God speaks perfect English and sounds like Morgan Freeman or James Earl Jones or Orson Welles or all three at once.

Wouldn't that be nice?

Let's go back to December 12, 1901 when God spoke for the first time in the twentieth century. According to some accounts, the first radio signal was received by a wireless operator named Arthur Moore, who was on board the American ship SS Philadelphia. Moore, not expecting to hear anything, was startled when he heard the faint but distinct Morse code signal coming through the wireless equipment. The signal was the letter "S" in Morse code, which was the distinctive identifier Marconi used.

In the excitement and surprise of this unexpected communication, the story goes that Moore believed he was receiving a message from a divine or supernatural source.

Art was confused by science. The early moments of radio were rightly filled with wonder, confusionand discombobulation. No wonder that the dismbodied voice crackling through the speakers (at times sounding like a snerkle) convinced Art that he was perceiving a divine intervention.

Others say that Marconi's first transmissions were quite basic and didn't sound like a human voice.

MMMKKKKAAAYYY.

Art and I might argue that a powerful, unseen force was communicating through technology...saying somethin like this "I'm very busy. I gotta take a snooze .Why don't y'all take it from here for awhile.

And it wouldn't sound human.
