“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. “

With all these endorsements from people who obviously know what they are tallking about (See: Ph. D) it is only a short matter of time before grade 8 children around the world are learning of how our noodly master created everything we know and love in his own image! I mean seriously?
Is there an Old Man With Beard Theory that could lead us to the holy grail “theory for everything”? No, instead we have string theory which is painfully obvious to anyone that it is His work!
Go on pioneers of His work and spread the word! We have backing from people smarter then most of our opposition combined!
RAmen!
To McFeathers III: We are not created in FSM’s perfect image. We are but part of HIS grand design, For only HIM is Perfect! RAMEN!!!!
I agree with these great minds wholly. :)
It’s great that they too could be Touched by His Noodly Appendage.

Yes. I am a believer.
From my celestial throne, I weep great tears of sadness. It used to be that PhD meant more than Permanent Humor Deficit. I guess scientists must undergo the tongs of death in order to enter the sacred halls of worship. Their humor glands are removed and replaced by latex foam that insulates their brains from any dangerous exposure to something really funny. Like how things are always changing form while we are sleeping. At night, things adapt. When we are not watching, if a mosquito can not bite us thru our thick jammies, it grows a longer, stronger hypo, and voila, it now comes around to suck the life blood out of us. If a moth loves the light but always burns his wings of in the flame, he grows fire-proof wings, and that is why we see moths dancing in the bonfires suffering no harm. They have adapted. And even scientists have adapted. In order to get a girlfriend, they pretend to be a real human, but then simply breed more latex-brained clones to rule the rest of humanity. I may have to do something about all this one day.
I believe in God the father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.
and I think that this is funny as hell.
keep up the comic, it provided humor to my evening…..
Ha ha ha ha hee hee
Brilliant! Finally, somebody dares to reveal the Whole Truth!
But the real work just starts here:
What we have to do now is to get into an arguement over where it is allright to eat noodles.
Some will argue that its a form of religious ceremony and others will think of it as blasphemy. We then proceed to hate and excommunicate each other, completely disregard the fact that the 8 I rather you dont’s forbid us to do so and then go and terrorize/worship italians.
the noodle is a beautiful thing and should be enjoyed in every way
This be a beauty o’ a thin’ fer me eyes to behold. Thar should be more o’ this everywhere!
Well I hope ye all had a good good ITLAPD. ARRRGG me and me wetch celabrated it at the utmost of punity.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh……………..
Bud, This is funny as hell. It makes me think about the time my brother and I ALMOST became country music stars with the subterfugious intent of ‘unmasking’ ourselves at the height of our careers to reveal just how plain silly and easy it is to be a country star…I say almost because we realized that we really did hate the music too much to bear it day in day out. Then Garth Brooks stole our idea and that was that.
Seriously, I’m sorry for all of the righteous indignation you are obviously intent upon soliciting. I actually believe in the Creator God if its of any interest…but I’m having a hard time deciding which is more hilarious…Your idea or the reactions of the pious religious militants it invokes.
Olive Garden stocks are soaring…Emerril is now your pope … Chef Boy R Dee leads an industrial revolution and ends poverty in the Third World…and any thanks out there? Any kickback? I hope it’s worth it. Is this what the world needs though?…another classification? more segregation?…but everyone LOVES noodles…Damn you ! Now I’m more conflicted than ever! Ok………how much for a T-shirt?
I like sphagetti
This is very important! I have just met a bald man hiking near the Ithaca NY area (striking resemblence to the Mr Clean dude). He claims that he discovered some ancient stone tablets written in a language that was unknown to him. He claims that the tablets were found in a small cave hidden behind a large rock, which he was able to move after some difficulty. The tablets bear an image of the FSM chisled into the stone near the bottom below the text. Appearently there are 3 tablets in total. He has promised to show them to me in a week or so. Very strange guy - but he seems sincere (says he is a PHD at Cornell).
I love spaghetti, hence I support your religion.
Your almighty creater would make an excellent Friday night dinner.
I have always loved pasta… I have seen the light (or the noodle)… I’m converted, and someone should make a church/restaurant honoring His Noodliness. RAmen
What about reaturing the evidence provided by the Raman Noodle Contest held last year. Who ever won that? I think it was Science Creative Quarterly or somthing that was sponsoring it. Rather than an endorsement we could have real science proof presented.
What the heck?
The great thing with worshipping the FSM is that once you have worshipped FSM you can eat him. FSM will not let children starve to death, unlike other deities…
The hate mail is what amazes me. I really like the irony that Jesus was crucified for his beliefs and this is exactly what the ‘pious’ contributors are practising in the hate-mail section. Do people really think that threatening copious amounts of retribution is why people join the flock? The diety or history you follow should make no difference- every single being should be valued by their actions, not their beliefs. FSM? Just as plausible as a ‘God’. Incidentally, without knowing anything about the FSM, how can the Christians evaluate the merits of pastafarian as a religion? They want us to know Jesus, but they won’t spend the time to get to know His spaghettiness. Well, I have a right to be stubborn too.
And in a scenario that all Christians will be familiar with, I’d better grab out my credit card. I need to show my faith.
A friend of mine (who shall not be named) has had much difficulty deciding what faith to believe in. But when he found out about Pastafarianism, he said oh to hell with it and decided to make it his faith. This has not at all made me interested in Pastafarianism. I have too much fundamental knowledge of art, science, and religion to be sucked in to a faith as laughable as this. What his conversion has shown me is that people who are missing brain cells and can’t make decisions for themselves are the ones who choose Pastafarianism. Did I mention my friend smokes weed?
On a side note, I do like the imagined stereotype of pirates (not in the bad way), but that won’t get me at all. Your evidence of his noodliness’ existence can easily be smashed in argument, and I’ll be happy to oblige.
First of all i must say forgive me for any grammar errors i may make.I myself am on a path of spirituality, mainstream religion just doesn’t cut it for me.and although i havent read much on you’re sit yet i see that you do have good sense.i personally have nothing near a degree in anything at all other than the ability to think for myself. I truly dont understand how itelligent design theorist along with evolutionist cant get together and figure this out. to me, it would take both to make this universe run right. wouldnt intelligent design also include the ability to evolve and grow?. i think it must.without it, gene pools would become stagnant and life would end up in incest,tho it may take a few more thousand years,i see no way around it, therefore evolution has got to happen. or we will have to find some other way around it. i guess thats where racism comes into play,i’m not sure, but thats the only thing i see that can stop a stagnant gene pool here on this great planet we call earth.what is my take on the whole deal you may ask?. lets see, i truly think that advanced souls had more to do with it than anything else,i really dont think yaweh himself done it all,even scripture tells us there were more souls around at the time of creation,(angels and such). I personally think that these advanced souls started simple, not with a snap of a finger, but a very intelligent thought. i also think they started with the smallest of ellements in our oceans, we are made mostly of water, and what kind of water?, salt water.I also dont think he stopped with our little planet in such a huge universe,a supreme being would know that these creations come and go.our planet is an active one that is on its own path of self destruction. one day we will need a new one. an intelligent designer would take this into consideration and creat more worlds that can sustain life.why go through the trouble of creating such a vast universe if it isnt needed?.my views may be idiotic to some, maybe even most that hear them or that may even read them on this site if this gets posted that is.so be it, they r my views and opinions.i’m sure i’ve been called worse by better.I must apologize if i have gotten off the beaten path, i’m sure i have.In a perfect world, we wouldnt have these discussions,although we all know this isnt a perfect world. again, please excuse the grammar, it’s not that i’m ignorant,i’m just not that prudish to be so correct….
short factor, leave the weed out of it, ok.maybe you should lighten up and take a hit or 3 yourself.
the flying spaghetti monster created everything (weed included) in his perfect image. are we not to make full use of his wonderful creation?
I’m a PhD student/teaching assistant in physics, and during my office hours on September 19th, one of the students in the physics help room came in dressed like a pirate. I noticed that the weather that day was significantly cooler around Umass than forecasted that morning. I think this offers some proof to FSMism.
Also, often in physics, we model interactions as springs (for example, atomic bonds). Perhaps these are actually rotini-like? Further proof of a pasta overlord of the universe!
In actual fact, your religion is something i believe in. I read the evidence, and until now i was atheistic. But no kidding, I am a changed adolescent. I think it took the mind of a genius to uncover the sacredness of the Flying spaghetti monster. I am truly touched!

dis stuff rocks
First of id like to apologize for all the christians out there who our shoving the religion down peoples throats. In my opinion everybody has their own beliefs and should be respected for that. They are taking this way too seriously. My understanding is that the point of this website is to bring attention to theorys and faiths that do not have a full explanation for, or things that are a little shaky in the “proof” department. People should open their eyes and hearts and be a little more compasionate rather than having the attitude, “This is right! why? Because i said so.” Everybody thinks differently and has their own reasons why what they belief is right. Whether is evolution, we will all be dirt in the end, Faith, I guess God will deal with you, or the Spaghetti Monster. Until the end, people should be encouraged to voice their oppinions without getting do defensive about it. When the time comes humanitly will find out who was right.
Everyone needs to remember there is more than one prophet. If you eat beef with rotini on Fridays or piggy pasta pizza paninai on alternate weekends starting in April, you are still one in Him. If you twirl your fork counter-clockwise you are still kosher to the BIG GUY.
Can’t we all just get along again ?
Ahhhhhaa ….ahhhhhh.. Lo-mein.
(The federal corporation of churches that twirl clockwise AND counter-clockwise and seem to get along anyway.)
I am quite disappointed in all of our “professionals” out there who are even taking a look at the idea of FSM. It’s the exact same thing as creationism. The whole thing is redundant and utterly superfluous. Why don’t you go prove evolution instead of sitting here and wasting everyone’s time
Sometimes it takes an idiotic comment to prove the idiocy of an idea.
wats wrong with u people????? actually think a spaghetti monster made the world….lol….
Watch what you say, Luis. Talk like that will get you an afterlife drinking stale beer and hanging out with the ugly strippers.

RAmen.
Is the FSM really a he? Or do we need another stream to teach about She who created the FSM?
I believe in HIS noodly appendages.
also, do we have evidence that his noodly appendages dont touch us in a bad way? my friends mock me and pastafarianism because they think he is a rapist.
I just love the way louis put “lol” the irony.
At first I thought to myself…my god…how funny people are “joking” about taking it seriously by assuming people really “believe” and it’s not just heavy satire. Then I stopped laughing when I realized most people in the hate section and some in the replies section really think that you are trying to pass it as a religion rather than a well demonstrated point. I think I just lost faith in most of humanity and that also humor is dead. I think people should pass an IQ test before being allowed to use the internet.
I did take heart that others professed belief in His Noodleness (hope has been restored). Vive la resistance.
as infuriating as they can be, those that would have failed such an IQ test do provide quite a bit of entertainment.

I found a website tonight called the Association for the Prevention of Velociraptor Attacks. Are they serious? Velociraptors are extinct, aren’t they? Oh, that’s right, God put fossilized velociraptor bones in the “geological record” because… ummm… Why did God do that again? Anyway, I think my neighbors might be velociraptors, and the website has a quiz to help me figure that out. Thank God I have such vital information at my fingertips.
All I want to know is what holidays do I get with this religion? I am sick and tired of not having holidays as an agnostic!
You get any holiday from any religion that you want. The FSM is really easy going. It’s fine with him if you celbrate other holidays or even follow other religions. He’s way cool like that.
.
However, if you really want a day that is special above all others to Pastafarians, that would have to September 19th, International Talk Like a Pirate Day. You don’t get the day off work, but you do get to plunder the office supply cabinet.
.
RAmen.
Thank you SaucyWench for the fine velociraptor site. I had been wondering why all the small children and racoons in my neighborhood were disappearing. Now I know that they were eaten by the closet velociraptor next door. Who’s this ‘god’ character who’s messing with the fossils? I thought the FSM did that.
Well, I was doing my best to impersonate a fundie. I don’t know, was I gullible enough? Was I frothing at the mouth enough? I don’t think so. I hardly frothed at all. Maybe I should stick to good, old-fashioned, straighforward sarcasm and semi-civil debate.
No, you weren’t frothing enough and you were way too rational. A true fundie would write something like this:
YOU R SOOO STUPIT! LIK SUM SPAGETY MADE THE WORLD NOT GOD U NO YOU R LAFFING AT WAT U DON UDERSTAND! THEIRS NO EVIDENS FOR EVOLUTION ANYWAY U FAG!!!!! THER WAS DINOSORES WITH MEN I BET U DINT NO THAT!!! GOD WILL KILL U ND YOU WILL BERN IN HELLL CUZ HE LUVS U!
How was that?
I am humbled and at a loss for words. You are a master.
Gosh, thanks!
Satirical comic gold, FCC, gold.
FCC, you are a god. A minor one, maybe, but still a god.
Thanks Again! I love the way fundies always have to call their opponents homosexual and point out that we haven’t bothered do find out about their religion. I’m sure it’s done in Christian love, just pointing out our sinful ways and all, but I still think it’s funny, especially when they point out our ignorance and sinfulness in raving and irrational misspelled messages. I guess they think we’re dying to worship the god of drooling, homophobic imbeciles.
I had macaroni and cheese tonight. I feel so renewed having eaten the body of FSM. Christians can talk about transubstantiation all they want, we Pastafarians “know” we are eating the body of our diety. And it taste so good. Heck, I’m having linquini tomorrow. Man, the FSM rocks.

Speaking of hollidays. What month did Ramendon start again?
Hmm *frowns* for those that are devout, forgive me, but i havent actually SEEN any provided proof from anybody yet… and im hoping to get some questions answered, and share a bit…
#1. My IQ is in the top half a percent of people in the world, i aced highschool without blinking, and continued my education much further. Ontop of that, ive traveled the world and experienced every culture possible in the short time graced on this earth.
#2. I havent actually been given proof of his existance in any way shape or form.
#3. Pirates still exist in abundance today. infact, there are more today than there ever were in all of history… allow me…
Example:
Worlds population 200 years ago = millions, 5% pirates, 5%= few hundred thousand
Worlds population today multiples of billions, 1% pirates, 1%= millions upon millions
Also, considering ground meat was not in an abundance, along with pasta hundreds of years ago, there was no noodles of which to base this diety of yours off of. Meaning it wasnt the FSM, it was merely a terrifying god of rage and fear, adjusted over time, as all religions do, to form something that we can understand and comprehend for a feeling of safe and comfort from life’s realities.
Apologies to those who believe in this, however im convinced its a joke that someone took too seriously.
“…im convinced its a joke that someone took too seriously.”
.
Er, yeah. And guess who took it too seriously? *chuckle*
.
“16 men on a dead man’s chest, yo ho ho and a roll with a Minogue!”
Ok, problem is, my best friend believes this… *shakes head* and i had to say it man…
So let your best friend believe in it. Who’s he hurting? (Not to mention his is the tastest of religions!)
Chaos: Who actually cares about your IQ? And how would you know it’s in the top half? Have you tested everyone in the world? And with what standards? Your own? You’re annoying.

Ramadan is this Month mate, it has infact already started and should be over soonish. I assume by Ramendon you meant Ramadan, Muslim starvation month. I have been winding my friends up something ruthless, I have actually put on weight this month due to all the cream cakes I have consumed in from of them!
I believe, I even put it on my census.
I just want to say some things:
#1 My IQ is so high that I’m not smart enought to calculate it. I passed high school sleeping on all classes and yet I got to study further, wich proves I’m so smart that I’m even smart on my dreams. And I’ve also traveled around the world. Thrice. The last time dressed as a pirate. So That means I know everyone and everything.
#2 I get proof of His existance all the time. Like when I see a bowl of spaguetti and I realized it’s too tasty not to be a product of a superior being.
#3 Pirates numbers are going up, but that’s just thanks to the FSM deciding to put his noodly appendages into action by bringing them back to life. (Yes, zombie pirates do make FSM happy)
And we all know in the beggining of the universe there was meatballs and noodles. They were simply made of dinosaur meat and carnivorous rice. (And I know that becuse I’m really really smart, Savy?)
Lets not pretend that having a PhD indicates anything other than having spent a few extra years in school. It suggests that they did a lot of research on a narrow topic to get their thesis written. No one with a PhD at the end of their name is in a position to endorse anything unless it is directly related to their area of study. Unless you are an invalid who foams at the mouth, you can get your PhD if you put in enough time. Its just like undergrad, except the parties aren’t as raucous and the wimmin aren’t as loose. They are no more qualified to know or understand the touch of His Throbbing Noodley Appendage any better than any of us. You have to forget the meaningless endorsements and believe.
You’re right faghettini. What do acadmeics know? Bunch of four-eyed, pocket-protector-wearing, pimple-popping, know-it-alls.
.
What we need are celebrity endorsements. I wonder if Jennifer Tilly is available. I really don’t know her stance on the FSM, but she’s hot.
.
In the end, you are right again. We don’t need endorsements of any sort. Just believe.

OEJ
If something needs to be endorsed, the endorser might as well show me some cleavage. Or a little side-boob.
I belive that you are all seriously in need of psychologcial help
That shiite costs money, foo. FSM blesses us for free.
I was touched by His noodly appendage. I once lurked within the shadows of dis-belief, but now I can see… I can see the light of GOD. I now know the way it started for real now: a hill, some trees, and a midgit. I am blessed with His greatness.
The most extraordinary thing has occurred:
I had a vision of FSM when I was a small boy. I saw his face, shining, as if in a dream, on the wall of a carpark in my hometown in Ireland.
Today I found this website for this first time. Now I know that the Flying Spaghetti Monster is real. I finally have something to believe in.
THANK YOU MY FOLLOWERS!

god have mercy upon us all… first a bunch of unexplainable anomolies of nature, then religion to make a feeble attempt at explaining them, now spaghetti… “Another disaster. The transport bringing our reinforcements and supplies has been shot down. It was engaged in orbit by a Federation vessel, which has landed near the alien temple. It’s only a matter of time before the Marines attack. Survivors from our ship have made their way to our base. Here we shall make our stand. Another enemy. First the shadowlings, then the Dark Hunter, and now the Galactic Federation Marine Corps. Perhaps fate will smile upon us, before the world itself opens its maw and swallows us.” - Cycle 7 space pirate log 70136 MP2

delicious.
My biggest problem with this debate is that I don’t understand how it helps future generations. I mean who really cares how, what, or who created the human species. We should be struggling over real issues like putting an end to genocide, disease, and starvation and promoting world peace. It seems as if some churches are using this issue as an excuse to teach their beliefs in state run schools. The only theory that should be taught in schools is Darwinism because science may find links with disease and medicine that aids the human race.
ummm none of these say anything to the effect that they believe FSMism is believable!they are all just about being fair and and not dissing religions whether they are complete bull crap or not!
this is the most ignorant umbelievable thing i have ever seen anyone who believes this is either insane, retarded, or heavily addicted to psychedelic drugs!

It is my considered professional opinion that FSM sucks, but no more than I.D..
Viva epiphenomenology, cosmetology, and noodleology.
You are all heretics!
Of course anyone with half-a-brain just KNOWS that the creator of our universe is not the Flying Spaghetti Monster….it’s the Flying Fettucini Monster. After experiencing my God (Alfredo) style, I started speaking in tongues. I know this because I have faith. You are all going to pasta hell!!!
Seriously though….this is a great site. FSM theory has just as much of a right to be taught in science classes as ID does. Keep up the good work guys!

“……anyone who believes this is either insane, retarded, or heavily addicted to psychedelic drugs!….

@amazedbythiscrap\
Ahh…….I see you do have your eyes open.
“…they are all just about being fair and and not dissing religions whether they are complete bull crap or not!…”
Unfortunately, in the rage against religion being taught as science in schools, the essence of the diference between the two becomes a viable point. Mainly because those wanting to teach ID need to dismiss evolution as a scientific theory.
This, then leads them onto attacking science in general. Why would they do that, if in fact, they don’t “believe” that the principles laid down by evolutionary theory are scientific?
Is it acceptable to regurgitate noodles ?

I think we need more than endorsement from Ph.D! We need to force ID’s and those pesky evolutionist believer in our truth full believes. How can we accept such ignorance of the truth? It’s a crime that our noodly creator make us pay every day by summoning natural disasters! Enough of all those discussion, we need actions!

If to be perfect is to be complete in every sense, then why would he feel the desire to create, and why would he feel the need to tempt his people. To me this suggests either sadism , or really having nothing better to fdo with his time. If anyone wants to hear of anymore arguments against God(s) i’ve got a few more cooking here. And by the way, in case you haven’t noticed,im not tryinfg to offend your beliefs, these are merely my own. I do not wish to force my beliefs on anyone, I merely seek an answer to my questions. thank you so very much. Cead Mile Failte and May the wind be ever at your back. There is no more proof of the existence of the deities of islam, christianity, Buddhism, etc. than there is of his noodlyness, therefore it is an equally valid theory,and therefore must be disproved before you can denounce it in this manner. Thank you.
Can I just put forward a suggestion (at the risk of being slaughtered by the non-enlightened) that after saying the name of the FSM we should say “Pasta be upon Him” as a mark of respect? Or is that too much, given that He is already made of pasta?
My main concern in all these posts is the usage of the word “intelligent” (iGod, iDesigner, iCreator, iThe-Flying-Sphagetti-Monster). Whoever was in charge has not displayed a great deal of intelligence. Humour, may be. If you try SimUniverse, and all you manage to create is a world populated by creatures whose main concerns are Feeding, Mating, Killing congeners (and, for TFSM’s sake, aliens) and wasting a significant amount of RAM for “Believing in something that starts with an i-” (see above list), then you’ll never make a high score or reach the second level. Most aliens that human beings have so far been confronted with even lack the Mating bit (as far as I know), so they are not any better (assuming that all aliens were created by the same i-entity). If intelligence was involved at all, then one may argue, how come no address was left behind for updates, spares and that sort of thing. How come nobody is perfect? This is a very strong argument for iTFSM as being at least partly involved in the creation process. Fundamentalist Creationists may argue that in the Chruch of TFSM many questions remain unanswered. Who created TFSM? How intelligent is It really? How long does It take to fly from Frankfurt Germany to Wheeling, West Virginia (just for example). Perhaps I can give the answer: While the iCreator was busy with the fine-tuning of humans, the Flying Sphagetti Monster caught him off-guard and ate him. Subsequently, TFSM took over the control panels and what we are whitnessing around us is the result of way too many tubes doing whatever. It also proves a suspicion each of us will get at some point and time: we are an incomplete part of a silly game and reality does not exist. Amen.
Reality is what you perceive. Amen.
Ok first of all I don’t even believe in this “god” that every one likes let alone some Spaghetti freak that some hack just made up “420 brother” but the fact is just let it go man seriously.
The Flying Spaghetti Monster… you think that this crude idea is a match for the glory of Jesus Christ? You all are looking for something… but it’s not a flying spaghetti monster, it’s God. Him. The REAL God, the creator of everything.
Not that I hate Christianity, Someone, (I’m an Anglican and a Pastafarian) but think about this:
If God were so all-powerful, and omnipotent, then He could create a rock. But could He make this rock so heavy even God himself couldn’t lift it? This is a paradox, correct? If He did make a rock that heavy, He wouldn’t be omnipotent. On the other hand, if He couldn’t make this rock, oops! He’s not omnipotent either!
The flying Spaghetti Monster, in contrast, COULD make an infinitely heavy rock, but He wouldn’t because He knows of this paradox.
BTW: Yes, I am looking for the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Not an old man in a robe.
The Greatest religion since the first religion that mankind ever realized was explicitly correct. Which, of course, they all are. I believe FSM is the only religion to accept all other religions as true.
There is only one truth! The God O Mighty, the great FSM!

I beg to differ. What sort of substances do they feed you people. Do you get the higher level stuff like Ted or cheap rubbish?
I wish I was touched by his noodly appendage and made prophet, henderson has nothing on me, but once again I am not a vain man, therefore i believe we should give him a chance
mike, thank you for providing us you humor talking about you love with christ, but we are here talking very seriously about FSM, please, if you are blind to see our God, let us show him for you, because hi´s your God and you must see it!!! because we loves you,we says: FSM IS YOUR GOD, HE LOVES YOU!!!!
mike, you must open your mouth and say RAMEN!!!!!!!
This will never be taught in schools.
Evolution has logic and evidence.
This is just foolish.
Why must you be so dumb?
I only just heard of this recently and i already am a follower, i think i was touched by the monsters noodly appendage!! RAmen!!
wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
gr8 religion heard it today joined today
If you try and take a cat apart to see how it works, the first thing you have on your hands is a non-working cat. Life is a level of complexity that almost lies outside our vision; it is so far beyond anything we have any means of understanding that we just think of it as a different class of object, a different class of matter; ‘life’, something that had a mysterious essence about it, was God given, and that’s the only explanation we had. The bombshell comes in 1859 when Darwin publishes ‘On the Origin of Species’. It takes a long time before we really get to grips with this and begin to understand it, because not only does it seem incredible and thoroughly demeaning to us, but it’s yet another shock to our system to discover that not only are we not the centre of the Universe and we’re not made of anything, but we started out as some kind of slime and got to where we are via being a monkey. It just doesn’t read well.
As quoted in Richard Dawkins’ Eulogy for Douglas Adams
wow
thats all pretty enlightening, I agree with the scienticts (and im actualy quite good at science) It all makes sense now, a giant spagetti monster made everything.
Good stuff
I AM A beliver of the great FSM.
And Pirate Fish
God No science
Fsm Loads
God boring
Fsm Fun
What proof is there that god exsists, If adam and eve were the first Humans than surely they would of got eatan by the dinosaurs and there is no record of Adam and Eve ever having a baby so infact we should not be here.
it was the Great FSM
Karl,

I get a little sad whenever I’m reminded of Adams’s passing. He was a pirate of the finest sort.

My PhD is in Olfactory of Excretion in Humans. And my vast knowlege, as well as my sure inflated ego are smelling alot of B.S. in here.

It took a PhD to figure that out? (My dog told me to say that.)
We were not created in his image. He let us create pasta in His image, to honor him. Why can no one see this?
I always knew there had to be more to live…..
this is a real eye opener
I feel enlightened
Now that I am writing this I am realizing I never really appreciated my spaghetti… i don’t even really like spaghetti. What does this mean?????
dear joost, pasta comeith in many a form,if one doth displease thee,tryith yet another.-maccaronni perhaps?
I was touched by the noodly appendage last night and realized the truth of all things. FSM is the way, the truth all things are he, and he is all things. May parmesan be upon HIM, and garlic and sauce to you all

For many years now I have felt compelled (on occasion) to dress as a pirate…now I know why…
I cannot believe for a minute that the well known and much respected Peter ‘Ahoy’ Hooper has come out of the proverbial closet. Indeed this new and sure to be esteemed member of the fine and rapidly growing Church of the FSM has adorned the official dress to help lower global warming and will doubtlessly adhere to ‘Speak like a Pirate Day’ next September. This man has indeed shed his spots. Well done Mr Hooper and help spread the word.
My inflated ego from my 8+ years of college does not get in the way of my ability to see the sublimity of FSMism. I will be proposing a new interdisciplinary field, Pasta and Pirate Studies, at the MLA’s 2007 conference. Students would take courses in Religion, Dietetics, Sociology, History, and Linguistics (to better speak like a pirate in September). All exams will be oral, and held at Olive Garden.
Love it, very off the wall!!! ;-)
Ahoy there!
I be from a long line of Pastafarian Pirates, dating back to the 1400’s. Me family has been scallywaggin’ and spreadin’ thee good word of the FSM for centuries. Arr, I be glad that some landlubbers too have been touched by his noodly appendage, and ye have taken the time to scribe this ‘ere page. Ye who be spreadin’ untruths about His Noodleness shall be flogged thrice with thee cat o’ nine gnocchi (me grand-pappy’s idea was stolen by thee British, those puddin’-eatin’ sea urchins), and let me tell ye, it’s al dente gnocchi. His Noodleness be very acceptin’ of other faiths and beliefs ye have, however, when some scallywag with a Ph.D be spreadin’ untruths about him, ye shall bear the full brunt of his noodly wrath. RAmen.
Be seein’ ye around the Cape,

I must admit that at first I scoffed at the notion that there was a connection between the waning number of pirates and global climate change - however the same day that I discovered (and rejected) the clear evidence presented in your graph, I beleive I was touched by his noodly appendage and the truth was revealed to me - that evening, sat right opposite me on the bus home from my place of study was a man with a scar and an eyepatch - clearly a pirate!
At that moment the truth was revealed to me by his holy tendril of taste - Of Course! a pirate wouldn’t be driving an SUV - he’d be doing his bit for climate change by riding a bike, using public transportation, or sailing a low emission 7 masted Man O’War bristling with cannon.
Thank you Purple Pillock…I shall stagger across the country side, drinking rum and making pirate noises from this day forth in order to spread far and wide the most holy message of the omnipotent FSM…and the devil to pay to any who stand in my way ha ha ha ha ha….
I am a believer in the giant floating beer can who created the world. I consider this entire website sick. Heathendom rules here. How can you fail to see the truth in the Aluminum Carrier of All that is Good? I hereby declare holy war on the pastafarians. this is a call to all who are loyal to HE WHO CONTAINS THE BEER. Eat that.
one who sees the truth behind the merchandising
Truthofthebeercan:
HERESY!!!!

Take heed o heretics of the faith! May His Noodliness have you walk the plank into the Great Sea of Knowledge. For there is but one true religion under His Noodly Appendage. All others are but mere imitations (and not even a very good one) and are naughty in His sight. Be ye smited by His Sacred Sword of Sarcasm.

you have converted me, mad john kidd
i have bought a pirate hat, given up my ninja gear, and become a devout follower of His Noodly Appendage. I know, it seems like I gave up easily, but therre WAS an extremely long mental battle in which i shouted at myself and therre was inpiring music. I think it may win me an oscar. No, really,
