My friend and I noticed your plea for endorsements from individuals who share both an academic background and faith in the FSM. I’m an academic, but not a scientist, while he is a scientist, but not an academic. We both, however, feel strongly that denying children an education regarding what we know to be the true, noodly nature of the universe is a travesty of human progress. It is apparent to my friend that, from a scientific perspective, no other explanation of existence is conceivable. And he converted to FSMism from atheism. It is apparent to me, as an educator, that to not teach this truth alongside other “theories” of our universe’s creation will cause irreparable harm to our children, escalating to the point at which an entire generation will be ignorant to the noodly appendage operating all around them, inevitably plunging the world and all those upon it into a new dark age. Thank you, Bobby Henderson, for offering an alternative to that horrible fate to which the Kansas State Board of Education would subject our society. Thank you, Bobby Henderson, for saving the world.

If intelligent design (ID) is based on science, not faith, then it should fulfill the same criteria as any other scientific theory. One of the most important of these is Occam’s Razor, the principle that the best explanation for a given phenomenon is the one which is simplest, or to put it another way, raises the least new questions. Most ID theories fail the test of Occam’s Razor, because they do not define what entity is doing the designing, or they imply that some sort of god is responsible, which raises the question of whether this god actually exists. However, Flying Spaghetti Monsterism explains clearly who the intelligent designer is, and furthermore, unlike the case for god, there is ample experimental proof that spaghetti does actually exist. I therefore recommend that if ID is to be taught in schools, it should be made clear to students that FSM is by far the most plausible of the many competing ID theories. RAmen.

I applaud Mr. Henderson for finally coming forward with a public acknowledgement of our fine religion. Many of you doubt our sincerity and legitimacy and many of you are often unaware of your inadvertant worship. Our most reverend of hymns, “On Top of Spaghetti” is ritualistucally sung by over 75% of the youth of America. Most of these children willingly take of the sacraments of spaghettios. Look into their eyes and you will see the truth. Many have been turned from the true way but He is willing to bring them back into His noodly embrace. As a Doctrate of Comparative Religions, I find it appauling that a small-minded minority is promoting their theories over older more proven scientific principals. May He forgive you for your insolance.
– Gwendolynn Sue Daniels, PhD.

As an orientalist trained in anthropology, I can assure you that the Flying Spaghetti Monster-theory is by no means ridiculous. It is, in fact, as solid as Genesis, the Aztec legends or Far Eastern stories about the creation of the world, and it is not more absurd.

It’s important that this’ll be included in the upcoming new school curriculum – the Flying Spaghetti Monster theory could well incite people to think about the discrepancies of other models. I am surprised people can even think of advocating ID – how will we raise the next generations’ scientists without any basical knowledge of facts and theories? Your demand to include the Flying Spaghetti Monster in school curricula is reasonable, not insulting and completely legitimate. FSM-ism would do no harm, and be a tasty alternative for fanatic Christianism.

Thank you for enlightening the world about the true creator of the universe and everything in it. As a person with a doctorate in Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry from Yale University (1974) and, thus, a better than average understanding of evolution and Darwinism, I would like to endorse, wholeheartedly, your efforts to get schools to include the REAL truth about ID and about the intelligent designer, none other than the FSM, when they teach ID in their science classes. RAMEN,

As a biodiversity researcher, it has long been clear to me that there must have been something transcending mere variation, heritability, time and differential survival behind all these different sorts of animals and plants – why this ridiculous redundancy? But your revelation of a noodly appendage guiding all things has supplied the missing recipe for truly understanding this interwoven chaos of diversity. What could be plainer, once one has gazed on one of His manifestations, gilded with ground Parmesan, bathed in the blood of tomatoes, hallowed with the incense of basil and oregano, than the conclusion that only a transcendent being such as He could have conceived of the profoundly tangled connections that are revealed by researches into ecology and evolution. A personal relationship with Pasta should not be an option – it should be mandated, and be available on special Friday and Saturday nights. –Dr Mark Hutchinson (Adelaide, South Australia)

As geneticist, my personal belief in the creator of everything was so far, that he resembles a pink invisible flying rabbit circling the earth just opposite the sun, and soundlessly squeaking “42″. In consequence, this creature is undetectable even by the most advanced human techniques. Furthermore, the ability of being pink and invisible at the same time provides proof for real allmightyness. However, Pastafarianism seems to be much more substantiated, and is not violating Occam’s razor (see comment of S. Bilson-Thompson), and follows pure philosophical logic, as colleague Brian D. Rabern has pointed out previously. Therefore, I am sure that the members of the Kansas Board of Education, who gave logic a particular importance, will honor these undisputable facts by including FSM in their curriculum, thereby setting highest educational standards also for non-US countries. – Additionally, the invisible pink rabbit hypothesis might be discussed if there could be some time spared in the pupil’s schedule. RAmen –Jobst Meyer, PhD, Professor of Behavioral Genetics

Just to add my endorsement of Pastafarianism as a nutritious and delicious alternative to ID and other forms of creationism. While I myself would prefer to keep all such religious views out of the classroom, if I am forced to teach one as an alternative to evolution, I will certainly choose Pastafarianism.
–Gerard S. Harbison, Professor of Chemistry, UNL, Lincoln, Nebraska

If intelligent design (one of my favourite oxymorons after military intelligence and friendly fire) is to be taught in biology lessons, then such crossover of subjects should be expanded! Haiku should be taught in motor mechanics, the making of dovetail joints should be taught in mathematics and cell structure and function in French classes. All of this is as equally logical as the teaching of things written down in a book by Middle Eastern asylum seekers in North Africa thousands of years ago in Biology.

Until today when I read your site I was an unworthy atheist who believed in nothing but reason and evidence based theory but now I understand that this was now just part of the FSM’s plan for me! I now pledge my research from this day hence to understanding the deeper mysteries of the FSM’s creation.

“The first bottle of Lambrusco I chugged in High School some 30 years ago washed my full immersion baptism into the Baptist faith away. The second bottle I chugged that night resulted in a pasta “vision” that, sadly, I was too blind and covered in noodles to understand. Now, after a long career as a Biologist and educator, I see the light. If you form a curriculum committee, keep me in mind.”

“As a regular contributor to the scientific literature in the area of Industrial and Organizational Psychology and Associate Editor of one of the top 10 journals in the field, it seems that many of the most important contributions to science involve unification of seemingly discrepant theoretical positions and bodies of data into larger, more unified “Big Picture” theories. We have witnessed this kind of scientific progress in physics for decades and now we are faced with similar promising prospects of an integrative perspective that links biology, metaphysics, and the culinary arts into one overarching theory of how everything got to be the way it is. The theory of evolution (the biological contribution) is a widely accepted and scientifically grounded explanation of the Earth’s current biodiversity, yet it falls short of an explanation of how everything got started in the first place. Intelligent Design (ID, the metaphysical contribution) argues convincingly that things are just too complicated for things to have started themselves and effectively argues that, therefore, there must have been a designer. Unfortunately, ID falls sadly short of identifying the designer him- or herself. The Theory of Flying Spaghetti Monsterism (the Pastafarian contribution from the culinary arts) presents a very convincing and parsimonious account of the identity and nature of the Intelligent Designer himself and, I think, creates an exciting potential for a Unified Theory of It All. Needless to say, any public school curriculum would be negligently incomplete and shamelessly biased if it did not present a fair and balanced treatment of the three intellectual pillars represented by Evolution, Intelligent Design, and Flying Spaghetti Monsterism.”

“I wish to thank you for opening my eyes (and for making my mouth water). I have already referred to our leader the FSM in both my classes this quarter–Theories of Crime and Deviance & Capital Punishment–as the role of religion (not the roll of garlic) is paramount in explaining crime and punishment. I look forward to further developments in the liturgy in time for my Law & Society course (not the antipasto course). I wish to alert you to today’s class discussion, we we briefly considered both the FSM and yesterday’s article in the Journal of Religion and Society. There appears to be a strong direct correlation between a nation’s belief in “A Creator” and very high levels of social pathologies. Either belief in a creator is dangerous to a society’s health, or we have just been following false creators. Therefore, it is even more crucial to teach Pastafarianism along w/ ID. The ramifications reach all the way to the Social Problem of Order, not just the elimination of doctors from Kansas, Dover PA, & Cobb County GA.”

“As a life-long subscriber to the scientific method, I find myself astonished at your succinctly unifying theory of the origins of matter and life in the Universe. I find myself unable to express the depths of my admiration and beg to offer you my accolades for your unequaled contribution to the field of general knowledge. That which eluded the greatest minds of humanity, the grand unifying theory of _everything_, is now laid bare for all to acknowledge; its brilliant simplicity far surpassing the inelegance of the Standard Model, the tacked-on nature of the Cosmological Constant, the inobsevability of M-branes and the obviousness of Quantum Gravity. It is perfectly derivable that the FSM is the duality of, on one hand, the driving force behind the imaginary-to-real temporal transition (falsely referred to as the Big Bang), and on the other hand, the impetus behind the universal entropy reduction (falsely referred to as Evolution).

It is my sincere hope however, that you may acknowledge that the images of Him, are mere projections onto our consciousness of the rapturous and divine cross-dimensional entity that He must represent. It is highly unlikely, and strikes this writer as somewhat jejune that His true image would be not dissimilar to that of a $5.95 lunch special at Belinda’s.

Thank you for restoring one man’s faith in science, organized religion and the general superiority of the Italian cuisine in a single afternoon.”

“I am a university researcher and lecturer in Sweden, which is a frighteningly secularised society. The need for the restoration of faith is particularly acute here. Amongst the religious minority, many cling to the exultant euphoria and collective catharses of pentacostal ritual. This fulfils a important need in this country’s emotionally and socially inhibited society. Many others uphold the imported religions of their immigrant backgrounds, which adds welcome variation to the palette of human beliefs and dogma. In Sweden there are strong inverse statistical correlations between drug abuse, youth delinquency and crime when plotted against the number of church goers. It is common for students to point out what to them are an obvious causal effects when presented with such data. I find myself standing before a clawing need for a faith based, postconstructive curriculum as an alternative to the secular and scientific programmes that totally dominate this countries universities.

The Kansas School Board’s embracing of the intelligent design constitutes a step into the abyss of rhetorical fallacy, a step that I believe would be embraced by a the majority of pupils if impressed upon them in a sufficiently charismatic and ebullient fashion. It seems to me though that the board have overestimated the abilities of science teachers to dupe and cajole pupils into accepting the content of their curriculum, and that intelligent design would more efficiently be forced on innocent minds through the use of professional sales personal, spin doctors, Hollywood writers, politicians or priests.

I myself have looked into a number of belief systems in an attempt to find a candidate for fulfilling students’ clawing need for simple answers that explain the complexity of the world. I find none as delightfully absurd and blatantly simplistic as Pastafarianism. It is clear that this is what I shall be teaching my students when they draw simplistic, uncritical, fact denying, authoritarian, dogmatic, or contradictory conclusions from incomplete knowledge. Pastafarianism beautifully illustrates how easily and arbitrarily specious truth can be constructed and it is the perfect complement to the stolid scientific approach.

Until such time as a new era of human enlightenment under a new prophet transfixes my attention, Pastafarianism will become a lecture hall word — a word through which I can offer those clawing students the sense of security and faith in the ridiculous that they need in order to revert to the path of rationality, uncertainty and the systematic search for truth.

To this end, there is also a place in the scientific curriculum for intelligent design, it’s just that Pastafarianism fulfils that role so much better.”
–Guy Davies Ph.D. Computer Science. Royal Institute of Technology

My motto will be “Pirates against global warming”

“Registered Nurses are trained to be respectful and supportive of their patients’ various cultural and religious beliefs and practices. In my practice, I care for the elderly, typically in the few remaining days of their lives. I have seen, first hand, everything from Voodoo death rituals to the classic Catholic prayer hoping for a miracle. I may well offend ALL faiths, but let me speak of religious diversity and miracles.

I know this is not scientific, but I can conclude, based upon massive first hand anecdotal evidence, that these many religions and faiths, despite their seemingly different dogmas, all worship the same God. If all of humanity could see my patients fully exercising their faiths as I have, it would lead them to that same conclusion, even though it is only based on “wimpy” anecdotal evidence, and not on a double-blind clinical trial that would satisfy scientific rigor. On the topic of miracles, any soccer mom who had to feed the whole team will tell you, Jesus could not have fed the masses with a single fish. It makes more sense that he accomplished that miracle with a giant, steaming bowl of spaghetti. I’ll bet if we examine other miracles, we will often find a noodly appendage invoking His influence.

So, I wholeheartedly support the concept of equal time for all divine theories in the classroom, especially FSMism. If we, as a species, could finally realize that all forms of God are one and the same God, perhaps religious wars would end, and we could truly love one another as most religions indicate. Your demand for equal presentation of FSMism in schools appears, on the surface, to be self serving for Pastafarians. However, you are really helping mankind in ways you may not be aware of.

    A delightfully ironic rebuttal of ID by reductio absurdum hurrah!!! To my mind the real strength (and this leads me to believe in the literal truth of Pastafarianism) is its implicit prediction of super-string (or more accurately noodle) theory, where we before us a divine image of the great ones influence on our cosmos manifest in its true glory. I look forward to the time (surely imminent) when great minds like Ed Witten will succeed in unifying noodle theory with the “meatbally/pasta source” aspect of the larger scale universe often referred to as general relativity.

    There are several scientific proofs that Darwinism is seriously flawed theory. There is no proof of evolution! Why evolution does not exist?

    Facts:
    - I do not believe in it.
    - Nobody has been able to explain Darwinism and evolution to me (and books about it are too long).
    - I am an idiot, my parents were idiots, my children are the same idiots, too. No evolution is observed.

    These undeniable facts lead to two rock solid conclusions:
    - There is no evolution at all.
    - So FSM created man in His own image. So FSM is idiot, too. So ID is not Intelligent Design, but Idiots Design.

    In my Research Methods in Education class, I always make note of the sticker placed inside biology textbooks in Cobb County, GA, by their Board of Education. These stickers warn that evolution is “only” a theory. I warn students that people who don’t know the difference between a theory, a hypothesis, and a wild ass guess shouldn’t be entrusted with the education of our children.

    I’ve always felt that it would be an ironic miracle if teachers were actually forced to “teach the controversy” and did so by teaching Darwin, then ID, then the Navaho creation story, then the Hindu creation story, then the Inuit creation story, then…well, you get the idea. I am pleased to say that the FSM version of creation is as scientific as any of them, with the exception of Darwin. I plan on pointing out Pastaism as an excellent example of faith in the absence of evidence, just like Christianity and Judiasm.

    Peng missed an important point when stating darwinism’s inherent flaws. The essential flaw of Darwinism is that Darwin didn’t die for our sins. If he had, he might very well have risen to the heights of popularity as the venerable Jesus Christ, or greater still, Elvis Presly.

    An interesting side-observation: Elvis and Jesus, the only two historical figures to have had followers claim first-hand witnesses of their trancendence of death and subsequent resurrection.

    why would darwin need to die for our sins, he was just a biologist. not everybody is in the world is interested in biology (even though i am) so he wouldn’t need to die for anybody who was suffering. trust me, i don’t see why he what makes people even view him as a religious figure, he was just a very important scientist. but i don’t know what your position is so i won’t say much more unless you post again.

    if someone is just a biologist who laid the cornerstone for a groundbreaking discover in science, how is that creating a religion. anyone who says that evolution is a religion (lets refrain from saying darwinism) must also think that gravity is a religion too, for that’s a theory too.

  36. 36 - Spaghetti Jeanette-i - Mar 18th, 2007

    As a new convert to the Church of the FSM (praise ye all His Noodly Appendage), I was struck by the revelation that, external appearances aside, we truly are Created in His Image.

    For what else do our nerves, blood vessels, and intestines most resemble, if not His Holy Noodles? Our brain and spinal cord, a beautiful mass of spaghetti lovingly bathed in salinous cerebrospinal fluid, like the Salted Cooking Water in His Cosmic Pasta Pot. Our most vital organs, our hearts and gonads, by which His Noodliness allows us to sustain and propagate life, are but imitations of His Glorious Meatballs. Our life’s blood, coursing through us like His Magnificent Marinara – every red blood cell a tomato in miniature, each white blood cell a microscopic sprinkle of parmesan, and platelets scattered throughout like flecks of oregano and basil.

    What this reveals, aside from DIRECT and INDISPUTABLE EVIDENCE of His Intelligent Design, is that bigotry and racial prejudice are truly antithetical to His Divine Plan. We all carry a bit of the FSM within us – not the like nonsensical claims of some invisible “god” living “in our hearts” – but in the real and observable structures of our very bodies.

    I am sure these concepts are adequately covered in the Gospel of the FSM, but I have yet to read it and cannot constrain my exuberance at this time. But really, since when does a lack of knowledge and research preclude having strong opinions about the nature of the cosmos, anyway?

    Not to discredit anything on here …. i’m sure it could be possible … after all, anything seems to be nowadays ..
    Just … with evidence … shudn’t it be backed up with hard evidence? Not just a bunch of quotes from people?

    Nice choice JCarr. Haven’t been back here for ages.
    Don’t go for the showy pages, pick something worthwhile out.

    Liz,
    .
    We have all the hard evidence you need. Absolutely stacks of it. Too much to simply dump on a website without overloading you. It will take years, possibly centuries to sift through it all and present a thorough case.

    After hearing various references to FSMism on facebook, I decided to finally check it out for myself. I have to say, I’m really excited to show this all to my crazy uber-Christian friends who constantly try to “save” me (until now I was an athiest jew) Instead, let them “savour”…spaghetti, and eat that which is in His image.

    Dear Sirs

    I have a confession to make. Upon descending mount Sinai I tripped over a suspiciously noodley appendage, fell and smashed one of the tablets in two.

    Aware that I had already been gone some time (and concerned that Aaron may have finished off the SpagBol we were having for supper that evening) I decided to cut my losses and return to base camp with only half of the commandment intact.

    Hence the opening commandment that read:

    “I am the Lord your God” actually should have read “I am the Lord your God the Flying Spaghetti Monster”

    I apologise for any confusion / secularism this may have caused over the past couple of thousand years. Hopefully Christians worldwide can now embrace once and for all what is the true lineage of their relgion with open arms.

    Yours sincerely,

    Moses

    “The path of the righteous man is noodley on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of Curry Houses. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the pasta through the valley of curry, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost parmesan. And I will strike down upon thee with great noodley vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to overcook my meatballs. And you will know my name is the The Flying Spaghetti Monster when I lay my appendage upon thee.”

    again from pastaland, and answering to Dr Mark Hutchinson, i’d like to point my opinion that all the diversity in the universe may (or not, i don’t know) exist so that we believers can taste the holy food in many different and pleasing ways, according to our different and ever changing tastes.

    Good work.

    Now all we have to image is what the universe would be like if we had an engaged supreme being. I bet the physical laws would be different. Entropy would be the first rule that would be different. Not to mention, the fact that human beings would have figured out how to get along millenia ago. Instead we have this chaotic world where we continue to extermiate each other.

    I just find the fact that people have to explain the existence of a supreme being to one another to be quite telling of the whole quagmire we have embodied in our societal structure. A supreme being woulld be self evident. No other human being would need explain it. It would be subtle yet overwhelimg. In fact the mere attempt to explain the concept would tend to pollute the concept. Instead if their is a supreme being, it has shown itself to be very indifferent to humans and in general to all the life forms on the is planet in this solar system.

    I am the supreme being over the animals at my domain and I treat them fairly and I never would let them hurt each other. In fact I bet I have rasied their concsciensenesses to higher levels than some of the posters in your hate mail. They are coo coo to argue about pirates, global warming, beer volcanoes etc.

    The only thing I can say about the hate mail posters is that the majority of humans are sub conscience, as are some of the posters in the hate mail forum.

    [2] This is the book; in it is guidance, sure, without doubt, to those who fear Allah;

    [3] Who believe in the Unseen, are steadfast in prayer, and spend out of what We have provided for them;

    [4] And who believe in the Revelation sent to thee, and sent before thy time, and (in their hearts) have the assurance of the Hereafter.

    [5] They are on (true guidance), from their Lord, and it is these who will prosper.

    Hello again magdy helmy,
    .
    Ok, now I can understand a bit more of it.
    I’m afraid many here will have a problem with [3]. Many here are skeptical in their world views. A bit like don’t believe until there is good reason shown to do so. If you don’t live like that and believe the Unseen, then which Unseen to believe? Islam, christianity, Hinduism, Buddism, Shinto? Or more importantly: why any one at all?
    .
    As I mentioned in my sarcastic reply to you on the other thread, we don’t get many Muslims, so please do hang around if you like and English is ok for you (my Arabic is virtually non-existant, sorry). :)

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
