This is a very interesting discussion on the subject of Intelligent Design by Brown University’s Kenneth Miller. It’s just under two hours long, and if you have the time I highly recommend watching it. There is even a mention of Pastafarianism at around 90 minutes.
The Church is funded entirely by your purchases of FSM merchandise. Thank you for your support.
An elaborate spoof on Intelligent Design, The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is neither too elaborate nor too spoofy to succeed in nailing the fallacies of ID. It's even wackier than Jonathan Swift's suggestion that the Irish eat their children as a way to keep them from being a burden, and it may offend just as many people, but Henderson, described elsewhere as a 25-year-old "out-of-work physics major," puts satire to the same serious use that Swift did. Oh, yes, it is very funny. -- Scientific American

Ummmm…two hours long huh…can someone summarise this into a paragraph for me…scroll rule applies…and make it funny…
He called you lube.
@Cari
Nice…what’s a lube?…it’s something good right?
I wish I had the two hours. Can someone loan me a few? I don’t even have enough minutes in the day to properly check this awesome site on which we currently are!
What’s the time stamp for the mention of FSM? I want to loop that part for prayer and meditation.
For those of you who are too impatient to wade through two hours just to hear the mention of our Noodly Lord, proceed to the time stamp of about 25 minutes before the end (that would be about 92 minutes in for those of you who can’t do math).
.
However, if you can spare the time, watching the entire lecture is entirely worthwhile. You can even just listen to the audio while trying to get other work done (though some images presented are funny and should definitely be seen).
.
All in all, this is a very good scientific lecture in which the present and future situation of Religion vs Science is discussed.

May ye all be touched by His noodly appendage.

@Cari
When he called me a lube did he mention me specifically or was he referring to Pastafarians in general?…what’s a lube?
Is there anywhere we can purchase said talk? Saw a good part and want more. Well worth the 120min.

Ooh, a friend just pointed me toward this site. Kenneth Miller is my hero. His book Finding Darwin’s God is one of the best things anybody ever put on paper, for my $. Can’t wait till I have time to sit down and watch this. And the FSM is hilarious. I want to knit one.
I can visit & be welcome & pay homage to that cute lil noodly one if I’m not an atheist, right? I’m a Methodist but fundies p*ss me off too. Maybe more so than some of you who aren’t Christian, because the few freaks that get all the press give those of us who have some sense a bad name.
I have seen this lecture before and this guy is a class act as a lecturer.

Well sounds like a good enough referral for….must find two hours somewhere now :)
Hai Lisa,
Always nice to meet someone with sense. You are most welcome to ‘visit & be welcome & pay homage to that cute lil noodly one.’
Very entertaining and funny
The einstein\magic comic-strip was very funny
I promise that i will watch it and post comments on each and every part of it…when i have the time that is..damn coursework!

The Paladin,
Somehow I don’t think my boss will let me watch this for 2 hours! Bugger! I have a 13 hour shift today, and a 12 hour shift tomorrow :(
Do you think I could get religious dispensation by saying my prophet told me to watch it?
Oh, and Hi Lisa - methodists?? Argh! Don’t you lot disapprove of beer? Not sure that would work around here! LOL! ;)
That was a great lecture! Didn’t plan on watching the whole thing but just got carried away. He summed up the topic pretty well.
About to go for the plunge for two hours… thought it was just a teensy bit typical of the damn americans to pray before they said anything mildly controversial… in europe we just get on with the science.
Does anyone know what the “online oyun” link is for? Have we been commandeered? It seems to be a completely non-FSM related site about video games. In Turkish.
Yeah the trackback on the hollywood flock of dodos screening links to some porn catologue site, go figure.
“…thought it was just a teensy bit typical of the damn americans to pray before they said anything mildly controversial… in europe we just get on with the science.”

Can you please come over here to the United States, St. Jimmy, and explain this concept to the @#$%! Republicans who run this country? They need the lesson :(
Booty: You do 13hour shifts??? Wow, how do you manage?
