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.

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

Bill, the answer lies in Lorentz transformation!! That tells you to move your point of reference with one of the moving entities and gives an equation on how to determine the velocity of the other. Unlike in Newtonian mechanics, it’s obviously not just adding the vectors. I haven’t worked out an example yet, but I will. To be continued.
Mike Meier,

It is a shame when good scientists try and shoe-horn their God in to their theories and lose all objectivity.
One of the key thrusts of FSM is that if the ‘there is a God because you haven’t proved there isn’t a God’ argument stands up the ‘there is a Flying Spaghetti Monster because you haven’t proved there isn’t’ argument is just as good. Actually better.
.
It’s the little flip they do (that you noticed) where their ‘profound’(!?) argument that there is a God becomes a profound argument that it is their God!
.
Sad really.
