Carbonaceous compression of many-armed creature – dates around 550 million years ago.
Discovery News reports the finding of a fossil formed around a many-armed creature. Dating shows that this creature was in the area hundreds of millions of years before dinosaurs existed.
The implications for Pastafarians are obvious: this is strong evidence that the FSM has been hanging around since time began, and created us all, including the dinosaurs.
There is no question the creature, believed to represent one type of animal, had a lot of arms. [...] The arms were tubular and in close contact with each other, but not joined.

Obviously this is the FSM’s first attempt at creating the Kid’s Meal. Amazing that He knew of the dietary requirements of young pirates and pastafarians BEFORE he made us! ALL HAIL HIS HOLY NOODLYNESS!

We not only have a graph – we have the oldest religious images in existence, for are not the galaxies reflections of his noodly magnificence. Is it any coincidence that this image of his magnificent noodliness and sacred pasta tentacularity has appeared at this time of great historical and spiritual convergence, so soon after the revelation of his glorious meatball nature in the open lesson, and on the very day that of the election of the first pastafarian president of the…… (and so on)

I am a sensible person so i won’t yell at you for this. However i must ask what possible enjoyment you could obtain just by slandering God? I know that there is the satire of whole thing, and the idea of such an insane creature as fsm existing. But still, why on earth do you continue to do this kind of crap to “prove” evolution? I mean really, when we christians wanted to prove Creation, we opened a lab. And your just slandering us by making a pun-filled atheist website. I would tell you the usual truths, such as God,Christ and of course Hell, but you’ve heard them all already. So i just want to leave you with a single thought. When your old and grey on your deathbed will you just sit their and ponder the dual possibilities of inexistence and Hell? Or will you do something about it now? Oh sure, your just going to ignore this, or laugh, or what have you. But still, I really hope that you’ll take the above piece of sage wisdom to heart. And just remember that even if you are right, do you really want to rot in the ground? Or do you wish immortality? I am immortal, i am above death, for thou i die i live. I hope you understand that your screwed for what you believe either way. Hell or horrid blankness? You decide. Or not “looks towards Holy Heaven.”

@Christian: Why are we still trying to “prove” evolution? We aren’t. A good scientist never goes about testing anything with the desired result in mind. They test something and then let the results determine what the best theory is. Now, it is true that sometimes we go into an experiment with and idea of what should happen. If I mixed sodium hydroxide with hydrochloric acid, I would expect to end up with salt water. But the reason I expect this is that many people have done this experiment before me and have come up with this result. Evolution has scientific evidence to back it up. DNA testing can show how related all life on the planet is, and we can observe changes in organisms that have short lifespans and therefore go through many generations in a short period of time.
The reason we object to ID, is that basically it says that things are too complicated to arise naturally so there must have been some sort of creator. Fine, you have the right to believe that, but that isn’t a testable claim. Whether it was a God or gods, or if aliens did it, we have no way of testing that so it cannot become scientific theory. And if it were aliens the question is simply postponed, because although we now have an explanation for us, we still don’t have one for the aliens that seeded life here, and so it goes up until we get to God, which is infinitely complex yet somehow doesn’t need a creator when all these simpler organisms do.
Anyways, onto your second point. Do I wish immortality? Of course I do. I’d love to live forever and not have to deal with death. If I could live forever, I’d have an infinite amount of time to learn and study and read. But I have no reason to believe that I will live forever, and that is why I treat this life as precious. As far as I know, I only have this life and I don’t want to waste it. Every other person who has died has either rotted in the ground or been cremated (with exceptions for other burial rites, but same idea), so that’s what is most likely to happen to me. What if I’m wrong? Then I’ll be pleasantly surprised to find that there is an afterlife after all, and if God is any kind of decent individual, then I’ll be judged upon what I did with my life, and not my lack of belief in the supernatural. Did you ever think that you might be wrong? That the Christian God doesn’t really exist and that there is either no god, or that it is Allah, Ra, Thor, Zeus (Jupiter), Druantia, Mider, Izanagi, Aizen-Myoo, Kane, Ouli, Anu, Labraid, Dewi, Gwynn Ap Nudd, Myrrdin, Belobog, Simargl, or Crnobog?
That’s a long list of gods, and I didn’t even mention them all, nor did I include any of the Aztec or Native American gods, nor did I include Austrailian Aboriginals or those from most of the world. These are just gods that originated in western Europe with a couple from Japan and Hawaii (Izanagi, Aizen-Myoo, Kane, Ouli). I’m sure all of those gods would be just as upset with you for not believing as your god is with me. Better start praying. You’ve got a lot of sucking up to do if you want to ensure your entrance into the afterlife.
Peace and Long Life,
Zane
P.S. How come you attacked all the other missionaries but not me? I’m feeling a little left out by not being condemned to hell as well. :’(

Jeez – christian does not GO AWAY! I will not be on my deathbed pondering anything except what a wonderful life it was. And I am not doing anything now except enjoying it cause it is the only one I have. And I sure don’t intend on wasting it with all your falsehood BS. Actually, now that I think about it, on my deathbed, I will order some spaghetti and contemplate all His Noodly Goodness! :)

So (assuming your post was not irony or sarcasm) we should belive in your god so to live for ever? Mmmm, I don’t think it’ll work, mate.

@Christian,
“I am immortal, i am above death, for thou i die i live.” Really?
Simple experiment for you: Prove to all of us your immortality. While you’re at, get JC, Buddha, God, and any other cool autographs to conclusively prove your your place among deities. Get me a photo of hell, too. You did say say it was at the center of the earth, didn’t you? Bet it looks just like it does in the movies, huh?
Your diatribes against the FSM mock us true believers. How dare you deny our proof? There is a fossil of one of his spicy creations right here, and still you deny him! We have a book, dozens of sightings, PIRATES! Does the bible have pirates? Heck, naw! You can’t prove the existence of Captain Stigmata, but we have a chart! DAMN IT! Oh, the marinara of your stubbornness! Our Holy Mother, Mama Leone`, wants you to come under our Noodly Fold, but only if you let the FSM in.
P.S. The horrid blankness you speak of is what us men call “Dry Firing”. Stop jerkin yer’ gherkin and see a doctor.

Any chance of a reference to that “lab”, the research undertaken and published peer reviewed findings? Thanks :)

I would just like to add Dagor to Zane’s list of gods because he is quite a cool god for spawning a short story by H.P. Lovecraft and being the basis of a brilliant game called Call of Cthulu. I urge everyone to play that.
If god is really so malevolent to send me to hell for living a good life, but not telepathically telling him my problems, and telling him I love him, then I really think I would prefer Hell. At least Satan is honest about his hate for all of us.
As a wise man once said
“If god is willing but not able, he is not omnipotent.
If god is able but not willing, he is malevolent.
If god is neither able nor willing, why call him god?”
Of course, if it turns out that there is no god, which is seeming increasingly likely, I will have lost nothing in posting this comment or living my life the way o want to.
P.S. I could rant on about the personification of evil (Satan) apparently spending his time torturing sinners but I’m tired and bored.

Uh, actually there’s pretty good proof that the Bible exists. Whether it is accurate or not, however, is another thing. Just popped in to check around the news and such and say hello.
(Also, um, slightly off-topic.. but I’ve been trying to look around and see if there was an article about a Golden Calf on this site? Thought I’d see how the FSM would take the news of the.. well, you have to have seen the news to believe this one..)

“many-armed creature predates dinosaurs”
So it preyed on dinosaurs? Is this why there are no dinosaurs around today? Or did you miss out a hyphen, and the many-armed creature just pre-dates the evolution of dinosaurs.
Either way, it’s more evidence that disproves creationism and advances punctuation.

@Christian #8,
So, you’re back. Personally, I think you want to convert to Pastafarianism, but are a bit afraid. That’s okay. On the subject of slander, if God feels we’ve slandered him with our posts, he’s free to pop into the nearest Superior Court and file charges against us.

Is there any proof that these many-armed creatures didn’t actually ride dinosaurs? I’m pretty sure I remember learning this on my last visit to the Biblical Creation Museum. Either that, or humans rode multi-legged creatures while hunting dinosaurs. There were definitely lots of legs being pulled.
