“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. “

Hi Ping
We call it Noodle Theory :)
RAmen
Has anyone been to the museum of creation science in Kentucky? These people clearly know what they’re talking about. It was inspiring to see Pebbles and Bam-Bam riding Dino while Fred, Wilma, Barny and Betty take pics’s. Great exhibit. Makes you realize evolution is only a theory, and a not very inspiring one at that.
Pastafarianism is the real deal. I am a believer. FSM saved my life when i was going through some hard times. PRAISE PASTA!
I am a believer as well.
PRAISE THE FSM!!!
Piszczel you are cool in my books, and friend of FSM is a friend of mine?
any friend*
In the immortal words of John Lennon:
“I am he, as you are he. as you are me. and we are all spaghetti.”
Lennon Knew.
goo goo g’joob
FINALLY! A relgion that makes sense, my life has a true meaning now, I can walk out of my door and face life with confidence. I will live my life to its fullest hopeing that I will feel the grace of his great “noodly apendage”…….giggidy.
ALL HAIL THE GLORY OF THE FSM!!!
You have all missed the most obvious of all thoughts in your tireless prattle- predating the FSM as an entity was Holy Trinity from which other religions derived their own derivations.
This Trinity consisted of the Holy Water, Holy Flour (Ghost) and Ether (consisting of meat and meat by-products, tomato essence, spices, oil and maybe a little salt of the Earth). It was only when the three were combined to replicate the Super-string image that we use to visualize the FSM that the Creator became the Creator as well as the Created.
And it repeats ad infinitum in a cyclical pattern also claimed by some fringe groups that are well out of the mainstream of right-knowing.
As we consume the Creator for our own sustainment, so we provide sustainment for new Creators from our processed leavings. And THIS keeps us from being full of IT and of ourselves.
I have been converted
FSMism is my calling.I love those of this religion..The game has stumpled me, but I was never really a gamer…I hope this doesnt deter me from getting higher to the Flying Spagehetti Monster..because I love him..He is the one..the calling…the reason of my being… I have to agree with King of Lytton..The FSM looks so damn hot with that santa hat…&& who is that man..next to the FSM???? I AM SO JEALOUS!
I hope to hear from you soon!
Love Destiny=
Surely it is Carbohydrate Design ?
your freaking stupid idiots
Come worship at our holy house of spaghettini 600 Ponce de Leon Ave. Atlanta, Georgia. In addition to Pastafarians we cater to Rastafarians, Vegetarians, Adkins Dieters, Meataholics, Beeraholics, and Lasagna fanatics, as well as whoever else is walking (or segwaying) up and down Ponce from 11 am to 10 pm every day (except government holy days) Very cheap way to declare your devotion to his noodliness.

“your freaking stupid idiots”
.
No, I thinkyou’ll be wanting the Discovery Institute matt. Though my advice is to stay right away from there. Some very nasty loopy sorts over there!
I have more proofs!
credit goes to http://www.godlessgeeks.com/LINKS/GodProof.htm for ideas
MORAL ARGUMENT (II)
(1) In my younger days I was a cursing, drinking, smoking, gambling, child-molesting, thieving, murdering, bed-wetting bastard.
(2) That all changed once I became religious.
(3) Therefore, FSM exists.
ARGUMENT FROM UNINTELLIGENCE
(1) Okay, I don’t pretend to be as intelligent as you guys — you’re obviously very well read. But I read the Gospel, and nothing you say can convince me that FSM does not exist. I feel him in my heart, and you can feel him too, if you’ll just ask him into your life.
(2) Therefore, FSM exists.
ARGUMENT FROM BELIEF
(1) If FSM exists, then I should believe in Him.
(2) I believe in FSM.
(3) Therefore, FSM exists.
ARGUMENT FROM BLINDNESS (II)
(1) FSM is love.
(2) Love is blind.
(3) Stevie Wonder is blind.
(4) Therefore, Stevie Wonder is FSM.
(5) Therefore, FSM exists.
I am the arch enemy of the FSM, THE ANTIPASTO, bwa hahahahaha….
I will annihilate you!
Two FSM proselytizers appeared at my door not too very long ago. My family and I have waited all our life for a rich and fulfilling meaning to lifes endless enigmas.
While I have easily accepted just about all that the FSM represents there is just one little point I can’t seem to fathom……………OK, a Spaghetti monster no problem. But I just can’t seem to buy into this “FLYING” thing.
@lo-life. I understand there is a heretical sect of coFSM called the “Tortellini Witnesses” who specialize in door to door proseletyzing. Beware, don’t let ‘em in.
LATE BREAKING NEWS!!!!
Is Davey Jones from pirates of the Caribbean a manifestation of his noodliness? Those tentacles in his beard are very pasta- like, he has a organ that looks like penne, and is a pirate.
Some devoted Pastafarians now believe this theory. But more questions arise… Was Walt Disney Pastafarian?
