I heard some ID believer say that “the probability that humans have emerged from natural selection is the same as the probability that a monkey composes ‘Hamlet’ by randomly typing on a keyboard”.
Well, I happen to have a monkey (Sheila) that likes to type at random on a keyboard. And today she typed this (see the attached picture).
Evidence!

And, just out of interest, where did our blue name links go? I haven’t had my soul stolen yet…It’s lonely!
@DutchPastaGuy: They would be, but I don’t know how anyone can love numbers that much when there’s pillaging to be done. Or maybe they jsut took a long, long, long, long time working out the numbers. Taking a few hours a day or something. Aye, that would ruin a marriage.
The Christians don’t bother me in the least.
As I tend to think for myself. Hard to guilt me into anything, unless
I get a DUI or something. i.e. Unless I fuck up!
.
Too many people here seem to blame the Christians
for all the wrongs in their lives. Ain’t their fault!
It’s said persons fault for blaming anybody but themselves!
.
It’s the Fundies that push their beliefs on others.
I’ve seen just as many FSM Fundies as Christian fundies.
Live and let live! That’s what I say!
Paris, you’ve just crossed the line. FSM fundies are NOT like Christian fundies. Either you retract that statement or go back to jail. No passing “Go”, no collecting $200.
To thetriangle… I read when I was little that, in a room of 30 random people, the probability is 100% that two of them will have the same birthday. Is that correct?
Hey christians are not the problem…all religions are the problem. Look at the shit religion is causing in the world even today. Bombings, jihads, holy wars, televangelists (oh the horror), door to door salesmen trying to pitch their particular form of fairy tale. Fundemental or not, beneath the veneer of religiousity lies a pus filled, hate filled, fear filled heart, waiting to burst out of the chest cavity, spit acid at you and eat you…wait a minute. Nope I’m wrong, that’s Alien! Okay, below that veneer of ‘Love Me, Love My God’ lies a dangerous soul wanting to convert you to their own form of insanity. Thank the FSM for beer and my trusty cutlass. “Back away you monsterous Landlubbers, or else I will smite you but good!” R’Amen.

Sorry Beth, I don’t see a difference in any Fundie, just trying to make someone else believe in their ideas. One is no better then the other.
What if I want eternal life, singing to a God?
What if I don’t want beer and strippers?
Works the same way.
.
Live and let live! Else I’ll get Hawt!
I agree, Iron Bess. Religion is one of mankind’s major problems. *cough* ‘The End of Faith’ *cough* Sam Harris *cough* Brilliant.
Really must get rid of that cough…
@Paris Hilton: What’s so threatening about you getting ‘Hawt’?
@Paris - Speaking as a pastafarin, I do not care what you believe. If you want to be part of a negative religion, go for it.
I will gladly engage in thoughtful banter about almost any topic, but I will not try to “convert” you. Or does pointing out conflicts in doctrine constitute an effort to convert?

Nothing really, I already am Hawt.
Probably best if I don’t get any Hawter though…
If Paris gets Hawt, she will asplode.

Pointing out differences is what makes the world go around.
Trying to tell someone what you believe is right, and what they believe is wrong.
Is being a Fundamentalist for what you believe.
.
History has shown, I’ve been a Pastafarian for awhile now.
The true Pastafarian knows that FSM was created to fight Fundies,
not to infringe on other faiths.
To Paris Hilton… even though you are HAWT, you are wrong about all Fundies being the same. We Pastafarians go by the FSM’s teachings, which are (in my words) “If you want to believe in me, cool, and if you don’t want to believe in me, that’s cool, too.” Have you read the Gospel? Pastafarians don’t force their beliefs on anyone! That is very different from the Christian fundamentalists’ M.O.
.
So I think you better just go back to jail for insulting us. You can be HAWT there again.
Artie, Best not find out.:) I’m sooo Hawt!
Sorry Beth, I think you lost your Pastafarian way.
A fudie is a fundie, and your last comment contradicts itself.
Sorry,
Why are you sorry, oh hawt one? You’re the one going back to jail!! Hee hee!!
Actually I agree with you there Paris of the FSM. According to Richard Dawkins, religion is some kind of warped left over that evolution still hasn’t had a chance to get rid of. He attributes it to the same kind of process that goes on with moths when they fly into a flame. They haven’t evolved enough to be able to distinguish between light that will guide them home, to light that will fry them. So the instinct is still there, but it is very dangerous to them if they get tangled with the wrong kind of light. Religion in people is sort of like a left over vestige of something that had helped mankind survive a million years ago. So we have advanced technologically but evolution is slow. So people have a tendency to get all fundemental about shite when it is near and dear to them.
Can you say that there are a bunch of fundies on this site…probably not. But we may want to ask that question again in a few years if the evening News is all about hordes of swaggering, cutlass swinging Pirates, giving the local population the choice to either convert to the Pastafarian Way or walking the plank.
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
