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

-You didn’t quote from the bible
-You didn’t tell us we were going burn in hell or to go burn in hell
-You didn’t even mention Christianity in anyway!
-You even somewhat noted that you may have understood that this is a satire!
But it is still somewhat idiotic, you didn’t even raise a point.

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.
And they DO have a point. Which is the same point that atheists have had for many years: The fact that we do not know nor have factual proof of the existance of a God, nor do we have factual proof that the Christian God is real.
Of course by factual, I mean scientific.
I personally choose to believe that there IS a God. Ironically, for very similar reasons than the atheists who don’t believe. The FACT that there is an unknown infinite dimension that our dual brain (a brain incapable of measuring something infinity, due to not having a logical “limit”) cannot comprenhend, indicates to me that there is an unkown “something” out there that does comprenhend all this. Which I choose to call God.
Also, the fact that scientific dicoveries have all been made within the capabilities of the human mind. However, there are things that cannot be explained with our mind capabilities because they clash with our human logic. For example, the FACT that everything must have a beginning, and an end. The studied theory of evolution starts at one point, and therefore should end at one point. But, using this logic, it is very hard to situate the “beginning” of time….. as even at that particular moment when humanity was created, there had to be something “before” that. Our logic does NOT comprenhend nor visualize a big cement brick if you tried to travel back through time…… there has to be a before…. Always! Or else, what’s there? Nothing? Does “nothing” exist?
Even if “nothing” exists, and by saying nothing we can imagine an empty place without any matter, or a lapse of time where seconds don’t count the same way that they count in this world: Well guess what… even at that particular place or moment of “nothingness”, it becomes “something”. Because it is something outside of what we know. Just the fact that we attribuite it with a name, such as “the unknown”, means it is “something”.
I choose to call it God. That’s what makes LOGICAL sense to me. Of course, just with logic, it is not possible to conclude the existance of a Christian God, or a Jewish God, or a Bhuddist God…. or the spaguetti monster for that matter…. but the important thing to understand is that neither of the mentioned can be proven or disproven…… Consider that ONE of them COULD be right. That is up to you to decide, based on history and your own faith and beliefs.

@John
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…

.
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.

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.

Yes, He is. However, we have no means of actually determining his existence, as His acts are easily explainable as other things and He cannot be detected by our feeble mortal abilities. Of course, we know He exists, because we have a book that says so. And we know it’s right. It says so.

The Flying Spaghetti Monster (also known as the Spaghedeity) is the deity of a parody religion[1] called The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and its system of beliefs, “Pastafarianism”.[2] The religion was founded in 2005 by Bobby Henderson to protest the decision by the Kansas State Board of Education to require the teaching of intelligent design as an alternative to biological evolution. Because intelligent design implies the existence of an intelligent, but not necessarily omnipotent or omniscient designer, some, like Henderson, argued that this designer could, in fact, be anything imaginable.
