Purchase the Gospel
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
I am a (public) High School graduate, and I was taught Intelligent Design in my Sophomore biology class. I always thought that Intelligent Design had nothing to with science. Because of the FSM my life has improved in many ways. Yay! All hail the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Congratulations Tina! Hooray for knowledge!
@Tina–I had a geology teacher who was a YEC and believed in ID. She made it her mission to explain why evolution was wrong. She was a very nice lady, and besides the young earth/creationism views, a good teacher. I wouldn’t have cared what her religious views were, but I feel it was wrong of her to try and teach them to the class in that manner. I can see a science teacher saying, “The theory of evolution is the one best supported by the observable evidence. There are other views out there, including ID, UD, and FSM, though these are just a few. If you would like, I can give you some websites, books, etc. if you are interested. But these views will not be discussed in detail, nor will they be on the test.” I have no problem with a teacher addressing these different views in this or a similar manner, what I have a problem with are those who believe that they need to and MUST be taught.
Evolution is supposed to be part of the curricula where I live but it turns out that the teachers just skip it anyway. I live in a VERY Christian town, I just moved here about a year ago from Philadelphia(big difference). So, anyway, I found this out the other day and was pretty pissed. I’m making sure that I move before my son goes to school. I’m shocked that they don’t teach ID here, I’m sure they will soon.
@ashley ID isn’t the only possibility, evolution is much more likely, why do you think shulls of native people from each continent look different? Did God put them there to fool us?
i can tell you, it is a great pleasure to live in europe - no teacher would ever think of teaching ID in science lessons - he or she would loose his/her job immediately.
so why be a pastafarian? well, why not?

I love this sign, whichever city put that up should get millions from the UN, i would gladly support that (i am not from there by the way)
