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
gbf stands for gotta butt fuck! and that’s why he was to damn busy to read the letter!
*sigh*

I give up. If you don’t possess enough intelligence to do a little research & READ THE OPEN LETTER, then you don’t deserve an explanation.
.
So go back to your little hole from whence you emerged, and relax in the assumption that your talking snake ‘theory’ answers everything you need to know.

I think you went of the track there a bit, i couldn’t quite grasp what you were getting at.
What you need to do first is actually define what “god” is/means. If, as I suspect, you are attaching the title to beings sufficiently advanced/powerful to be beyond our understanding then the title is a little misplaced. That would technically make us gods to the primates.
“Also, the fact that scientific dicoveries have all been made within the capabilities of the human mind.” is something of a furphy too. All scientific discoveries have been made within the capabilities of valid experimentation. Just because we haven’t discovered it doesn’t mean it hasn’t been thought of. Take faster than light travel, we can’t do it yet but we can convieve the idea. And your whole idea of ‘nothing’ being ’something’ because it is ’something else’ is silly. ‘The unkown’ and ‘nothing’ not interchangeable terms. Look up the shrodingers cat experiment. That dealt with the unkown. The unkown is just something we haven’t observed yet. Nothing is a place without space, matter or time. Notice “without time” not “where seconds are counted differently”.
Evolution has a starting point but nowhere has it ever been said to have an end point. Where there is life there is evoulution. It starts at self replicating amino acids to single celular organisms and on from there depending on environment and environmental change. The only end point is when the environment changes enough to destroy life. Even then life will find a way and continue evolving.
Finally if you are going to apply logic to religion and say that one may be right then you have to say that they all may be right, it’s either all or nothing. All gods were created the same way: by the faith of thier worshippers. So if Jehova exists because of faith then so does Odin, Vishnu, Buddah and Nyarlothotep.
… great, now I’ve rambled as much as you did…
i’ve always been told thou shalt not judge so if it hurts peoples feelings so bad to even look at the site then turn away, don’t come back and go back to your comfortable surroundings and read the bible if it makes you feel better. i enjoy the seeing people enjoying this site and its message cause it gives people a choice to believe in whatever they want. keep it up this is great.

Duh!
Obviously the religion was created to mock organized religions that exist in the world.
It is nothing new. I assure you that the “followers” of this religion are atheists that are trying to prove a point.
.
Actually it wasn’t created to mock the religions of the world but like you made the point that you can not prove nor disprove FSM and therefore Intelligent Design should not be taught is science class. That is the main point. My belief is that you can pray to anything you want as long as you don’t teach it in a science class room.
.
I get the feeling from what you said you could agree with us in that respect!
RAmen!
I think it was a pretty tame letter…the quality of hate-mail is slipping. I choose to view it more as a Zen koan - how does anyone come up with anything? Who is anyone and what is anything?
I meditate on the infinite paradox until my beer glass is empty.
cheers

You know that is a good questionhow do we kow “this guy” is for real???? How do we know that he not perhaps a bio-construct of His noodley appendage come hither to spread the word of the FSM? perhaps he is right and “this guy” is nothing but a fictional hallutination put here to promote Piratry and noodle consumtion. OH gbf you have shown me the reaching wisdom and amazing forethought of the FSM THANK YOU

This and most of the other hate mail I see here are powerful arguments that public education is less that successful. No curiosity, no ability to do even the simplest research, no sign of any willingness to question whatever dogmatic gruel is piled on the plate. I despair for the future of humanity.
whoops, typo. should say “less than successful”. One stale beer for me as penance.
Isn’t it amazing how if it’s bullshit you learned in your chilehood, taught to you by your parents, teachers and clergy, somehow it’s legitimate, indeed, sacred bullshit. Everything from parthenogenisis to assumption into heaven (btw Jesus would have one fucking long way to travel to go to the eternal unchanging realm of heaven-now that we know the universe is at least 25 billion light years in diameter) to Jonah in the digestive tract of the whale to feeding 5000 people from the first century equivalent of a single McDonald’s happy meal–all of it is legitimate beyond question with some people while something along the exact same lines-and FSM is structured EXACTLY like every other religion– triggers the rational empiricist even in the Fundies who view this site. Good Show.
Now if we can just get these people to turn that critical faculty on their own preposterous belief structures….
my fellow disciples, DO NOT CURSE ABOUT ME IN THAT WAY!
I will burn you with my noodly appendages.
thou shalt not curse about spaghetti or his meaty friends!
yours,
mr. monster
How dare you talk about me like that!
Oh,of course he is for real.
BOW DOWN AND WORSHIP HIS NOODLYNESS, SCUMM!! ARRRR!
THIS SITE IS FUCKIN GREAT i love it …. There not being serious ..dumbass so stop with all the omg omg this site is going to hell ..and all that crap ….. keep up what u guys r doing ..THIS SITE ROCKZ :D
Perhaps instead of “hate mail”, it should be called “ignorant mail” or “dumbass mail”.
> Where did he come up with that?
.
What a silly question. Where does any prophet “come up” with The Word? From our Creator of course.

I read the letter and I am still a little confused. I didn’t really understand it. I am not making fun of anyone just trying to get a little research. Is there actually a religion over the FSM?
Do some research and find out you douche fag. And this is very half assed hate mail. do better next time.
peace love and pirates

ha research more plz
How many millions of years of human evolution? And we end up with this! I have no hope for the future. Bless His Noodly Goodness
