Leslie Scrivener has written an excellent article, In praise of an alternate creation theory, in the Toronto Star.
From the department of one scientific theory is as good as another, comes the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
The theory goes like this: the Earth and all living things were created by a Supreme Being, the Flying Spaghetti Monster, and though there are no witnesses to creation, there are written accounts of it.

I haven’t uploaded anything yet but have joined it. You need a yahoo id though. Still it’s free (or $25 per year if you use a lot of space)
Hey, that thing is pretty cool. It downloaded everything really fast.
Good! I’m going to upload some of my pics there soon. I’ll send you an invite. Be warned though, they aren’t too interesting. Unless you like Cairn Terriers, landscapes, sunsets, arty farty stuff, plants, insects and spiders etc.
Oh, and thanks go to Booty for bringing the site up!
I’ve some nice coast pictues I took while on a detour home from work and a few general interest ones.
Nice, I like coastal scenes. I saw a cloud formation that looked like the FSM a few days ago. Typical luck, I didn’t have my camera ready :(
Well, better than a cloud formation, I saw the image of the FSM in a piece of toast! I almost fainted. Of course, that was from hunger which was substantially diminished when I spread the toast with butter and jam and ate it. *Urp*
I saw FSM in my tea today.
