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
Landlubber said it perfectly and i’ll say it again…
Your argument is flawed. By defining God as the creator, you suppose that the only way that something can come into being is that it was created, like a building or painting. But what created God? How can you argue that a building must have a builder, a painting must have a painter, therefore God created the earth and all life, but He has always been and nothing created Him?
Creationists and proponents of I.D. Theory try to target small unexplained (for now but we will get there) pieces of Evolution Theory. While everyone has a right to their own beliefs, they should hold the responsibility to at-least logically think through what they believe in before they demand all others follow in stride of their beliefs. Case in point, the anti-evolutionists claim that Darwin’s theory lacks an explanation backed by evidence for how everything began/was created. Where is their evidence? Written in the man-made Bible? A burning bush atop a mountain that spoke to a man thousands of years ago? What created your so called God??? I’d love to hear a reasonable explanation for this one? Maybe he evolved from the Flying Spaghetti Monster himself….it makes about as much sense as any creationist explanation i’ve ever heard.
Oh my goodnes, you are so full of air…I meant to say shit, but that will mean that you actually have something in that hole called head.
Please read, religion is about being ignorant…so stop trying to be intellectual.
How long did it take you to come up with this one? Don’t you think that time might have been better spent, oh, I don’t know, DOING SOMETHING WORTHWHILE TO BENEFIT YOUR FELLOW MAN?????
Do you know of any building that had a mother?
Im sorry, please tell me who created your god…
Your questions have fogged and subsequently cleared my mind. I now know that the one, true, Christian god built my lead-paint-and-asbestos shack, painted the dirty sayings on the outside, and is responsible for the recent demise of my yellow Dodge Dart.
I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT!
Wait, no…it was just a police cruiser going by. Nevermind.
“Pleased to met you/Hope you guess my name”.
Never woulda guessed Basil Baxter. Somehow it seems way to pedestrian, like the humor on the webite. Plus, seems every time I go there, my computer locks up. Can you say malware? Tisk, tisk.
OK lets say there is a GOD and he created everything we see around us. I therefor have one question that must be answered before I join your cult..I mean religion..religion.
If GOD created the heavens and the earth and is omnipitent all knowing all seeing and forever….Then what was he doing for the mellenia prior to the earth project? What was he doing for so long with out light, stars and matter?? Was he just sitting around and just think you know what would be fun making a universe. Ok I have a second question. Where did GOD come from? If you can answer that without using “he was always there” then Science would be obligated to find where the big bang came from and how life started.
Does anyone believe Basil Baxter “Drove a tank, held a general’s rank/ When the blitzkreig raged and the bodies stank”?
Evil should be more entertaining, far less derivative, and perpetrated by someone other than a wooden shod goth dutch boy.
I made a tuna casserole… am I its God? what if it worships me?
Reproduction with variation is the driving force behind evolution. Buildings, paintings, and cars do not reproduce with variation. Organisms do. Trying to disprove evolution by ignoring reproduction with variation is like trying to disprove heavier-than-air flight by ignoring the physics of aerodynamics and wing structure.
If I knew a builder who built a house… a painter that painted a house… an engineer (not ‘maker’)who made a car… that had gotten into the condition this world has found itself in… he’d never work again. How can you ignorant, american, christians, honestly believe these delusions? If this is the way a god wanted it, I refuse to worship him. However, by all means, please keep posting stupid shit on here. It keeps me laughing.
Well… I’m not Christian but I do believe in a God, an incomprehensable one. I dislike religion it is stupid, I do not actually practice anything in believing in God, I just believe in something and I believe our human minds are so pathetic and stupid that we couldn’t possibly even begin to understand what he is.
So far, the God I believe in right now is an Extra-multiversal infinitely self-creating entity that never exists in the same form at any one time but keeps creating over itself in direct violation of the laws of thermodynamics, which is fair, seeing how he’s extra-multiversal and therefore not bound to any laws of physics. Oh and he wasn’t Jesus and he never came to Earth.
Yes, by the way I know my belief have completely nothing scientific to be based on, but there is more than science in this world, even though science is by far one of the smartest ways of thinking. But, it is possible to be right and go down a completely wrong train of thought, a lot of scientists have proven that.
Anyway, my belief doesn’t particularly impede on anyone, personally I don’t believe anybody should burn in a christian hell but you know, whatever happens… I don’t go to church, I don’t ask God for things and I don’t go door knocking telling people that the God I believe in is the only God. The closest I get to shoving religion in people’s faces is if they ask about religions or ask what I believe, and I reply, I believe in a God.
P.S. Hopefully I don’t get hated on because I’m not scientific enough, I just wanted to point out that a belief in God is fair if it doesn’t impede on other people, which I believe the Flying Spaghetti Monster is all about. Bobby Henderson didn’t create the FSM, stupid christians trying to shove religion into a place where it don’t belong did.
The grand canyon had no builder it was created by itself.
Are you saying its that tale Paul Bunya did it! HAHAHA!
Do you know anything man made that was not made by man. That is not an arguement, it’s retartedness followed by irrespinsible assumptions.
Yes to question 1 and 2, but not sure about 3.
For question 1: I visited a cave last month.
Question 2: Some hundred meters from where the cave was, there was some nice patterns in the rocks from when the ice drew back after the ice ages. Not unlike modern art, though way ahead of its time.
Question 3: Are the Japaneese humans? I am not sure about this, but they work a LOT, so something tells me they might be robots. But I am not sure about this one.
I built 50 houses of brick. Am I called Thomas the Bricklayer? No. I make 20 pies a day. Am i called Thomas the Piemaker? No. I saved 10 men from death. Am I called Thomas the Healer? No. But suck 1 single c*ck….
Dear Pastafarians,
Basil Baxter Loves You.
@Neal:
“Pleased to met you/Hope you guess my name”.
Please do not Remind Basil Baxter of that band. Try as he might, they refuse to die. (All but one, But Basil Baxter was not at the party, nor were a few hundred other people, apparently.)
“Never woulda guessed Basil Baxter. Somehow it seems way to pedestrian, like the humor on the webite. Plus, seems every time I go there, my computer locks up. Can you say malware? Tisk, tisk.”
Basil Baxter regrets the trouble you have accessing the website but has to deny any active wrongdoing on his part. It is a quite innocuous setup of Wordpress running on a LAMP server. Have you tried a sane browser, such as Opera or Firefox?
Basil Baxter has trouble grasping the concept of “humour”, he surmises it is, like “good”, “evil” and “aggravated assault”; a human construct to help them make sense of a world without a One True Friend.
“Does anyone believe Basil Baxter “Drove a tank, held a general’s rank/ When the blitzkreig raged and the bodies stank”?”
Basil Baxter has never driven a tank. In fact, this is one reason he killed Santa.

“Evil should be more entertaining, far less derivative, and perpetrated by someone other than a wooden shod goth dutch boy.”
Again with the “Evil”… If it is Death and killing you are referring to, however, Basil Baxter would like to comment that he finds that those have an appeal that far outweighs mere entertainment.
Basil Baxter has encountered the Dutch on a few occasions, they did not seem that special. One does provide his domain hosting though, while another kindly provides a proxy. The actual servers, however, are in Australia where (Basil Baxter finds) the climate is far more suited to wholesale killing. At least the spiders are more amenable. As for the so-called Goth: Some Dutch Goth type persons are, indeed, quite agreeable, while others… well, let’s say it is best, if you find yourself in a Goth bar, to not drink the coffee.
“It turns out that while the city council turns a blind eye as long as the corpses are just pretending and will wake up the next morning with a hangover and a slight case of face-paint poisoning, it does take offence at an entire bar’s worth of dysfunctional teenagers actually turning out to be deceased.”

Of course, Henderob, we all believe that the …..
ahh Red? who do you think Henderob is? and you call yourself a pirate?
bah! time to chop off yer other hand….
There was nothing… Now there is everything what happend inbetween I don’t know. However there is a major flaw in your logic because it’s not that a house is created so on and so on it is rather that a house or car or painting is a compilation and reorganization of other materials. “Materials” rather it be a 2×4 or subatomic particles are for all intensive purposes MATTER!!! matter can not be created nor distroyed.
HERE IS WHAT I AM GETTING AT… the creation of all matter (what FSM did for us) is 100% diffrent from organizing matter to build an object.
If you don’t get it it’s ok. Have a highschool kid explain it at sunday school they would know.
