Excellent satire of the criticisms of religion and Intelligent Design … unless you guys actually think the creation of the FSM and its subsequent religion is a valid critique of religion and Intelligent Design in the form of satire or actual truth for that matter. In that case, try studying and understanding your “opponents†first before attacking. Or maybe this “religion†of the FSM is just a good case of showing that people will believe almost anything (assuming that your church members ACTUALLY believe the FSM to be true). Yet, I very highly doubt that people are QUITE that stupid. Given enough time, they should be eliminated by natural selection anyway.
However, both ways I do enjoy and appreciate the artistic work and creativity you have put into the FSM and its subsequent church. It, as well as the hate mail you receive, is truly hilarious.
It’s a good thing that artistic method isn’t restrained by the scientific method. The religion of the FSM is evidence that art is not restrained by logic.
As an aside, since art is allowed to be taught in school in the form of an art class, the religion of the FSM should be allowed in school as well. Drop me a line if you need help creating a case (I wish I were a lawyer).
Similarly, religion or philosophy would also be considered art if it did not attempt to validly explain the existence of good and evil, reason, and other enigmas of the “human condition.†Art attempts to depict; religion, science, and philosophy attempt to explain in a valid manner.
Nevertheless, I can see how the religion of the FSM could attempt to explore the very concept of validity and its relation to truth. However, in this case, it should also attempt to be more valid itself and satirically examine or disprove science as well in order to be more encompassing and relative in addressing validity, in my humble opinion.
Or the creation of FSM and its religion may be just a load of quasi-artistic BS, in accordance with all gods written in history who were included within and were a part of the universe and describable as natural objects. re: ra (sun-god), poseidon (god of the sea), fsm (flying chunk of spaghetti and meatballs) “may his appendages be honoredâ€
Regardless of the psychology or validity behind the FSM, thank you for the humor, and good luck in continuing to intelligently or not so intelligently (whichever the case may be) evolve the FSM and its religion.
May your God given or unguided evolutionary given ability for creativity and the FSM’s noodly appendage guide you in your never ending search for that natural-selection-created concept of Truth.

I leave with you these three quotes:
“If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning.”
–C. S. Lewis
“If the solar system was brought about by an accidental collision, then the appearance of organic life on this planet was also an accident, and the whole evolution of Man was an accident too. If so, then all our present thoughts are mere accidents – the accidental by-product of the movement of atoms. And this holds for the thoughts of the materialists and astronomers as well as for anyone else’s. But if their thoughts – i.e., of Materialism and Astronomy – are merely accidental by-products, why should we believe them to be true? I see no reason for believing that one accident should be able to give me a correct account of all the other accidents. It’s like expecting that the accidental shape taken by the splash when you upset a milk-jug should give you a correct account of how the jug was made and why it was upset.”
–C. S. Lewis
“The most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible.â€
–Albert Einstein

He wasn’t anywhere near as big here as he was in America. In fact he was probably even bigger in the UK as well. I think a lot of Aussies took a while to get over the cringe factor of his showmanship dialogue. They just didn’t, initially, look at him from the right angle.

As a normal person, I have read Dr. C. Maglacy’s one comment with much interest. I find apparent evidence of strong psycologically incorrect thoughts. This person continually tries to point out that I make comments made by others as if they are my own missives in an attempt to gain attention. It is not often that a normal person can observe that a psychologist can be totaly wrong in a real time situation.
.
As noted, I’ve clearly stated that if you guys declare FSMism a Satire and mark it as such… I’ll leave. Anything that comes across as attention seeking or anger is purely coincidental.

Thank you for your comment on my initial observations.

I must concur, that you may well be correct in pointing out that my prior observation may not have been entirely comprehensive. My premise, was but preliminary. It is, however, your response which holds the greatest observational interest for one in my profession. I thank you for taking time to respond.

If he wasn’t such an ass, I’d probably feel sorry for him. But I don’t.

For my part, I have no desire to see you go. I just want you to admit that you aren’t really an atheist as you have claimed.

Everything you have ever said on this site suggests you are a theist. Only a theist would be so insistent that satire be clearly labelled so as to distinguish it from faith. As a theist like the rest of us, you are so close to being right. You just have to admit that the Creator has a sense of humour and smells of sweet roasted garlic.

well, it seems we have someone who is inherently great at sounding smart. Now lets examine the sounding part. Does anyone here really think this dude has any clue about what he says means. I can teach my four year old brother to say “E equals M multiplied by C squared” but that means in no way that he understands. This guy sounds like he threw up a thesaurus (i should probably find out if thats spelled right….. nah)
*ahem
back on topic, if this guy were to say what he ment in terms that were not used solely to confuse the reader, he may be a worthy opponent to this, our pastafarian church, but as long as he continues sucking up words from books that sound smart and spitting them onto a paper, he seems nearly equivalent to “someone”, who (and i quote) rather distintly told us “Ya’ll drink douche water”

This part in particular has to be the best
“social sciences show that the wages for women workers are lower than for normal workers, meaning that they are unable to work as well and thus earn equal pay;”
.
If we tried that with our wenches, they’d fry our meatballs.

Still, “exegetics shows that God created Eve as a companion for Adam, not as a co-worker.”

Why the hell do the women support that?

How the hell does the kid explain that to his mum?

2nd Place: “Maximal Packing Of Rodentia Kinds: A Feasibility Study”
Jason Spinter’s (grade 12) project was to show the feasibility of Noah’s Ark using a Rodentia research model (made of a mixture of hamsters and gerbils) as a representative of diluvian life forms. The Rodentia were placed in a cage with dimensions proportional to a section of the Ark. The number of Rodentia used (58) was calculated using available Creation Science research and was based on the median animal size and their volumetric distribution in the Ark. The cage was also fitted with wooden dowels inserted at regular intervals through the cage walls, forming platforms which provided support for the Rodentia. Although there was little room left in the cage, all Rodentia were able to move just enough to ward off muscle atrophy. Food pellets and water were delivered to sub-surface Rodentia via plastic drinking straws inserted into the Rodentia-mass, which also served to allow internal air flow. Once a day, the cage was sprayed with water to cleanse any built-up waste. Additionally, the cage was suspended on bungee cords to simulate the rocking motion of a ship. The study lasted 30 days and 30 nights, with all Rodentia surviving at least long enough afterwards to allow for reproduction. These findings strongly suggest that Noah’s Ark could hold and support representatives of all antediluvian animal kinds for the duration of the Flood and subsequent repopulation of the Earth.
That is so wrong!
