As a scientist, I’d like to say that the currently accepted scientific theory is evolution. But, some competing ideas have been proposed, such as ID and FSMism, and discussion to include one should include the other, as these ideas are equally valid.
– Mark Zurbuchen, Ph.D.

As a medical practitioner and scientist, I wholeheartedly believe that every theory and hypothesis needs full consideration and explanation with formal ratification by peer review. We have a duty to inform our schools and presumably pasta should form a staple part of our educational diet.
– Dr. A. Macintyre (UK)

Letting the religious right teach ID in schools is like letting the Marines teach poetry in advanced combat training. As a scientist, I see these the relevancy between the two sets to be equal. If Kansas is going to mess up like this, the least it can do is not be hypocritical and allow equal time for other alternative “theories” like FSMism, which is by far the tastier choice.
– J. Simon, PhD

One of the hardest things to do as a scientist is to put my personal beliefs aside when discussing matters of science. So as a professional, I have to say that both forms of Intelligent Design – ID and ID-FSM are equally valid and if intelligent design is taught in schools, equal time should be given to the FSM theory and the non-FSM theory. But, speaking personally now, it seems to me the FSM theory is MUCH more plausable than the non-FSM ID theory, because it is the only one of the two that takes into account all the discrepancies between ID and measureable objective reality.
– Professor Douglas Shaw, Ph.D

In discussing competing theories, if one is to present ID then it is only fair and logical to teach other theories with commensurate evidence. Based on Mr. Henderson’s letter, it is clear that the FSM theory has evidence comparable in weight to ID. As a scientist and professor, it is often difficult to present differing opinions in an unbiased way. However, it is important to the student to be exposed to these ideas to form their own opinions. This comes right out of the handbook of the ID purporters: present the different “theories” and let the listener decide. If those in favor of ID are so convinced, then they should not be concerned that the presentation of the FSM theory would serve to undermine the credibility of ID.
– Elizabeth Garrett-Mayer, PhD

At one time, I believed as the Aztecs did, that the universe was created by two gods, Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca who attacked and ripped apart Hungry Woman to create the universe. Then I believed, as the Moriori do, that the universe was created when Papa and her husband Rangi hugged and bore children, and were subsequently separated by their son Tane who let light shine between them. However, my views have been swayed by the substantial evidence that the earth and universe was actually created relatively recently by the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM). I am firmly convinced that the evidence supporting this depiction of the origins of life, the universe, and everything has many of the trappings of science, and I therefore support the inclusion of FSM creation evidence in the Kansas science curriculum and standards.
– Sebastian Wren, Ph.D

One of the most exciting developments in fundamental physics in the last twenty years has been the development of so-called “String Theory.” In String Theory, all fundamental sub-atomic particles are visualized and described mathematically as microscopic vibrating strings. Although as yet unproven, many physicists believe that String Theory has the potential to become the long-sought “Theory of Everything,” through which the fundamental physical nature of all matter and forces will become understood.

Obviously String Theory IS correct, although misnamed (a secular humanist conspiracy perhaps?). As NOODLE Theory clearly unambiguously reveals, He has created the fundamental subatomic particles that form all matter in this universe in His own quivering image! You, me, the Earth, the stars…everything in the universe…are all built of trillions of tiny jiggling noodles, microscopic copies of our Divine Saucy Maker. Truly He is everywhere and in all things!
Boy-oh-Boyardi and Ramen!
–Steve Lawrence, PhD

As a scientist I believe that when presented with a new idea every possibility should be considered so we can eventually find the truth. It would be very biased if the only possibilities presented would be regulated by some authority. As a scientist I am biased towards the theory of evolution, but this does not mean that everyone should be forced to only learn this and believe this. Putting this aside, I feel if the government feels the need to regulate what students need to learn, then all ideas should be taught in school. Not only Intelligent Design (ID) should be taught, but the theory of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM) should also be taught. In my scientific opinion when comparing the two theories, FSM theory seems to be more valid then the classic ID theory. There is more data to back FSM then I have ever seen for ID. The graph which was presented should alone more convincing then anything ID has ever presented. I endorse the FSM theory.
–Afshin Beheshti, PhD

As a scienctist, I think that ID is a form of pseudoscience–nothing more, nothing less. Pseudosciences lack the well-designed and carefully-interpreted experiments which characterize the true sciences. ID is popular because it provides the general public with an easily understood “answer” to nature’s complexity. Why is it human nature to try to fill the gaps in science with some form of a deity? Nobel laureate Richard Feynman, in his response the Challenger disaster, wrote, “For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled.” It is too bad that many in the USA have fallen into the ID trap, and are making emotional rather than logical decisions.

That being said, and the more I consider ID and the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM) theory, the FSM theory has a lot going for it. First, it should satisfy even the most ardent ID detractors. Secondly, since everyone needs to eat and to believe in something, the FSM theory fulfills these desires. Finally, FSM neatly ties together the many ideas about the creation of the universe. I plan on exposing my students to the FSM theory over a pasta dinner.

    This is a copy of the message I sent Sen Vitter.

    I am a student at the University of Massachusetts Boston College of Science and Mathematics majoring in Earth and Geographical science. I have heard that you have earmarked 100 thousand dollars to develop a plan to better promote science education. Specifically to look at alternatives to Darwin’s Theory of Evolution. Children should hear about any legitimate theory. So I am writing this message to inform you of a theory which should be included. Pastafarians have scientific evidence that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. They have scientific backing and an impressive graph. You may want to spend a significant amount of the 100K exploring and advancing this scientific theory. As a student of science I assure you it is as valid a creation theory as any other proposition being discussed.
    Thank you for being a champion of science.

    *Yes, I do need mental help*

    But you Kieth try to question the very composition of our Noodly Lord. Is He made of spaghetti? I do believe so but I have never actually taken a bite out of Him (I dont believe any Xtian could say they have tasted their lord either). He looks like spaghetti too. But the question is ‘Is He made of spaghetti?’. I don’t know. It makes sense though considering He made the earth and all mankind, and time also holds no bound for our God. Therefore He is as young as He ever was and as young as He will ever be. He was present when spaghetti and meatballs were both invented and He knew of their existence long before we were ever around. Therefore, a ball of food could have created teh earth (which HE did) and I just made you look like a fool. How do you like it?

    I can’t believe how many people can’t take the time to see that this is all in good fun before they come running up, banging on a bible about how everyone here is an idiot or a retart (I’m just going by the common spelling here.) I was under the impression that religion was about enlightenment and the basic belief that we should all be nice to each other. At what point does belief in a higher power merit or condone people running in and yelling profanity at others, merely because they don’t share the same EXACT belief? What kills me is that the people who claim to be such die-hard believers in “real” religion are the ones who act the WORST towards others. What message are you sending by simply condescending to others for not thinking as you do? You yell at the people here for acting (satirically) IN THE EXACT SAME WAY YOU DO. I wish more people were secure in their own beliefs, because if they were, websites like this wouldn’t be necessary to show them the contradiction and hypocrisy of their behavior.

    And on that note:

    Firstly, I need some spnooditual advisement: Hindu’s wouldn’t dream of eating a sacred cow, so, is it not a sin to eat spag and balls? The other day, to be safe, I ate a tofu dog instead of meatballs. Ick. Can I claim those as ‘against my religion’ from now on? These things should be included as a new Sin.

    That same day, I cut my hair and figured I make a pretty good gay man as I slipped on my pink polo made of 70% cotton, 30% rayon with embroidering which is heavens only knows what … so, I’m fairly certain I might as well go ahead and eat some pork rather than another one of those tofu dogs.

    Also, regarding the noodles … is it alright to eat noodles if they aren’t the semolina type? Rice noodles, for example?

    Finally, to all those naysayers claiming ‘Man’ made spaghetti … who’s to say which came first, spaghetti or man? I ran into a half can of unused spag sauce in the back of my fridge one time that had something growing in it that resembled fsm and it didn’t take any carbon testing to determine that something was regenerating itself right there in our refridgerator on Delridge Way. I don’t buy all this millions of years, ice age and dinosaurs bidness, let alone the 4000 year theory of i.d. I think fsm regenerates our world household-by-household about every 6 months or so from the various offerings we leave in the back of the fridge… until one night, it becomes airborne, floats down the hall to our bedrooms and up thru the nostils as we snort our dreamy little snorts (nostrils, btw, being a direct open passageway) to consume our brains, leaving only our shells and false memories of ‘a past’.

    After all, ‘Reality is an illusion, albeit a persistent one’ as Einstein noted, and ‘the ‘truth’ we cling to’, as Pema Chodron brought to light, ‘makes us unable to hear anything new.’

    (Did anyone ever think about the connection that I.D. is also a .. ummm… ‘personal lubricant’? Hmmm…. Does that mean we’re getting a bit of a slippery one handed to our gaping shocked orifices?)

    (And on a personal note: to those folks visiting who can’t see the beauty in this theory, I weep for the challenges you must face in a world that must be so lacking as to have no ability to see the true love and warmth here. Joviality is as much key to health, as carbs and proteins.)

    One last side note …. as an American, I’m sick of being lumped into the inbred douchebag portion of Americans that “New Zealand” decided to make a conglomeration of. I spent the last 6 years living in NZ and this prevalent over-generalization (or over-generalisation) that ALL Americans are loud, brash, and ‘W’ supporters seems to be an irreversible genetic trait. (inbred, black kettle? notice the population turn-over in this little country up until now?) Or perhaps it’s “learnt” from ‘Kindy’ onwards, so the neural pathways are ‘stuffed’ …. probably full of ‘al-u-minium’ and spreads to become ’serv-i’-acul’ (read: cervical) or ‘bum’ cancer. Stop your pub-crawlin’ and ‘drink driving’, and learn to pronounce your vowels properly, for ‘Goids’ sake, ‘alroight’? And quit claiming your high-and-mighty ‘clean and green’ until you decide to end the use of Super1080 (which we banned years ago), aerosols, and imported pollution-reject Japanese rental cars. Sigh.

    I understand your point, but there is 1 problem with it. Who declares which viewpoints and idea’s are rational? If you ask a fundamentalist Xian, he will say that non are but ID. If you ask me, I would say that only those based on evidence are rational, as ID is based on the lack of evidence for evolution. If you ask someone with an old heathenish religion (I.E. The old norish gods) he will say something else.

    Acording to DeCartes, there are no knowledge that can be guaranteed.
    This skepticism is exactly what DeCartes brought to the 17th Century. To establish what kind of certain knowledge. The Church, (Christianity), has scared their people into thinking that an alternate god or way of life, would send them to hell. A bully, Chritianity is, to scare their people; while the Church of the F.S.M. is open, and act in a non- faschist order. If people can’t come in terms of acknowledging a possible being such as this, their ignorant. These people,(the church starters), are trying to discover a new kind of accurate scientific knowledge. They are to be known kindly, as a gadfly, like Socrates, and be thanked rather than being thereathen by ignorant, bible digesting, haters.

    Descartes tells us that we cannot be sure of anything that can be doubted, that we must doubt all that we have the conception of doubting. But the concept of the Great Pasta, the Cosmic Carbohydrate, the Saucy Savior, cannot be doubted. Therefore, since we cannot doubt the existance of the FSM, but can doubt everything else, we cannot know anything for sure without believing in the FSM. Indeed, even if by some amazing mental prowess one did manage to doubt the existance of the Sultan of Starches, one would not dare to do so lest they face his great noodly wrath. Indeed, I implore all who walk the dark ways of Atkins to turn from their evil path to the great light of the Prince of Polysaccharides. Let him watch over all believers, and grant us great prosperity and feasting. Ramen.

    Your theory of a Flying Spaghetti Monster has revolutionized my belief structures! I knew that there had to be something, for as Anselm once philosophized, I know that I am imperfect and that therefore, there must be something that is. It just happens to click, even with Anaximander’s philosophy with “The Boundless”. What’s more boundless than spaghetti?! It’s in every country and almost every continent. So the Flying Spaghetti Monster is most definitely omnipresent. It’s also a comfort to know that whenever I eat spaghetti, I am consuming perfection and he is within me, body and soul. I feel like that man stepping out of the cave and simply blinded by the realization. Who would have thought that spaghetti could have such an effect upon someone. I will make sure to incorporate pasta into my everyday diet. VIVA LA FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER!

    I personally think that the FSM is a good idea, but we all really have to come back to reality and look at for what its worth. The FSM was just created as an opposition to ID.

    @LeftEar – if you actually think people are taking this seriously, you are out to lunch. You should possibly take a little time a read the posts before making broad sweeping statements like that. Typically what you will find is a group of intelligent individuals sharing their beliefs and views about their own worlds. The only ones who take it seriously are the xian nut-bar fundies who come by and visit. Most spew obsenities and leave, some stay to discuss and share their POV’s. Sometimes it gets intense, but it never gets to the point where we start to discuss how we are going to start our very own inquistion in the name of the FSM.

    I’ve gotta say, I being a serious atheist, that I think that FSMism has a lot more going for it than religious “theories” like Creationism and Intelligent Design. I’m sorry if I’m offending anybody by saying this, but how can a big invisible man in the sky make everything appear like that? The Bible got it wrong, but got its general morals right. Genesis got it so wrong that it created its own black hole of logic; once you believe Genesis, it’s hard to believe much else. And seriously, no matter what you do to a glass of water, it will never turn into wine. You can’t walk on water. I’m sorry if you believe that, but it’s just a metaphor. That’s all religion is, is a metaphor. I’m not saying that FSMism is actually true, all I’m saying is that nothing in the Bible about geographic history or miracles has any empirical evidence that any of it happened. And I would love to see a bunch of angels wrestling a bunch of lions’ mouths shut. I’m not anti-Christian, don’t get me wrong, I’m just predisposed to believe science as opposed to religion, superstition, and old wives’ tales. I don’t believe in reincarnation, Heaven or Hell. I don’t believe in Purgatory. I don’t believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster, although the Pastafarian faith at least offers reasons for everything. What do I get from Christianity? An invisible man in the sky created Earth as a disc in the center of the universe, with the Sun revolving around the Earth, though mysteriously casting no light upon it until He says, “Let there be light,” created a man out of dust, make a woman from his rib, and have them live in a fantastical garden and endure no pain until the woman is deceived by a talking snake into eating a magical apple of enlightenment from a forbidden tree, and thus getting them cast out of the garden and being denied entry by a giant angel with a giant flaming sword, and having placed upon the woman the pains of childbirth and menstruation, and then having children who will have to have children with each other at some point. Yeah…

    As an high school biology teacher the thought of ID being added to the curriculum makes me nervous and sad. If this were to happen I would follow one of two paths which would most likely lead to the same ending at least for me. 1) I would quit my job in disgust and go to find employment elsewhere 2) I would teach FSM right along side of ID as an alternative idea Either way I would out of the teaching profession sooner of later. Separation of church and state is an endangered idea and I being a biology teacher and scientist am trapped firmly between them.

    Well, Mr. Bobby

    As the All Mighty FSM may stipulate, I am not a Ph.D. yet but my dissertation’s in the works.

    Having spent many years in laboratories, however, I have felt an eerie presence at times when I believed I had almost proven the existence of God (Christianity’s God, sorry). I had already discovered Buddha, Ganesh, and Anguta (the Inuit gatherer of the dead… he was one tough SOB to nail down) but God continues to elude me.

    Each time I’m close, I DO feel a cold, pasta-like tentacle reach over my shoulder and move my slide or tap a couple of numbers on my calculator. I think He knows that the answers will lead to one conclusion: FSM IS GOD… and the one who actually fathered a child in the Davinci Code.

    Good work, FSM. You saved mankind, er, pasta-kind again!

    My bad, G. On Your ramenny-like tentacles. Are those egg or egg-substitute tentacles? My apologies for eating so many of your kind during my college days.

    As if further proof was needed of the latent FSMism within the scientific community; the more recent Membrane Theory proposes an 11 dimensional model of the universe often depicted resembling the pasta sheets used in Lasagne, folded in on themselves.

    The following website seeks miserbly to clarify and has some FSM based music of questionable merit.

    I myself am not a follower of the FSM because I am a pagan. I have read much of your faith and must say that it impresses me. I find several pionts that I disagree with, and I find monotheistic religons nervrecing (the thought of only having one god makes me shutter, it is so strange to me) however, I must say that FSMism is the most comforting monotheistic religon that I have ever heard of. While I would not become a worshiper myself, I know that the FSM, like all of the other gods exists, and I sulute those who worship this noble and delicious god. I hope that as our religons coem ou of hiding and challenge the political athoutity of the Christians in order to uphold seperation f church and state, to ensure our continued freedom, that we may become friends and alies. May the FSM bless those who choose to worship him and my the Pirates reture with candy for the children and snow for the actic.

    very interesting, but I have my own theory for creation.
    DESTINY THEORY
    Everything that happens is supposed to happen, its destiny. You cannot change the past. Destiny is irriversable. However, one must not place blind faith in destiny, because destiny is unpredictable. Destiny is not to be faithed, only to be understood. Praying to destiny is a waste of time. However, taking action will bring you to your destiny just as being passive will bring destiny. Destiny is unstoppable, and unquestionable. There is proof for Destiny. Everything that has every happened in history is proof of destiny. It was supposed to happen, and it did. All we can do is make the best of what Destiny has given us up to this point in time.
    Critics Question: But what happens when you die? Where does your soul go?
    Retort: When you die, it is destined. After that, whatever happens is destiny. We are to simple to understand the complex nature of destiny.
    Critics: What about the earth, how was it created?
    Retort: Well duh! The earth was destined to be created.
    Critics: Does destiny provide morals?
    Retort: If destiny gave morals, it would be defining a pathway to follow. This pathway will lead to destiny, just as any other pathway would lead to destiny. Whether destiny is moral is unimportant, because destiny will happen regardless.
    Hopeless Critic: If we taught destiny, then people wouldnt beleive in sins. They would destroy the world.
    Retort: Thats not necessarily true. We can function in society so that we will all enjoy our lives. Equality, Democracy, Social Services, and helping people is the best way for us all to enjoy our lives. What happens afterwords is…. well… Destiny.

    This is why I want to be a scientist. When I read what all these really smart people wrote, I have faith in the world again. Hopefully soon, all educated people will know the gospel of FSM.

    RAMEN!

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
