The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster
By: Bobby Henderson

Just when you thought your edumication was complete, the next wave in scientifical theories of the creation of everything is about to break over our heads. And in this theory, All was created from Nothing from the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Hey, it makes as much sense as intelligent design theory, and it’s perfect with a nice Chianti and a bit of aged parmesan.

Coming soon is the Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, and sometime after that, a pirate ship whose missionary work will be to go out amongst the heathens and bring them to the Angelhair of the Bowl.

O, Flying Spaghetti Monster, hollowed be Thy Pirate Ship (otherwise, there’s no place to put all the swag).

There is a reasonably clear and fairly sober explanation of the Doctrine of the Condiments of FSM thought in this interview with the Prophet.

There are many images, icons, and manifestations of the Flying Spaghetti monster here.

I am writing you with much concern after having read of your hearing to decide whether the alternative theory of Intelligent Design should be taught along with the theory of Evolution. I think we can all agree that it is important for students to hear multiple viewpoints so they can choose for themselves the theory that makes the most sense to them. I am concerned, however, that students will only hear one theory of Intelligent Design.

Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. It was He who created all that we see and all that we feel. We feel strongly that the overwhelming scientific evidence pointing towards evolutionary processes is nothing but a coincidence, put in place by Him.

It is for this reason that I’m writing you today, to formally request that this alternative theory be taught in your schools, along with the other two theories. In fact, I will go so far as to say, if you do not agree to do this, we will be forced to proceed with legal action. I’m sure you see where we are coming from. If the Intelligent Design theory is not based on faith, but instead another scientific theory, as is claimed, then you must also allow our theory to be taught, as it is also based on science, not on faith.

Some interesting responses from the Kansas School Board. There are at least 3 intelligent board members. Whew! Good for you, Kansas!

Jeez, I can’t believe Naperville is in there. That’s awkward. Oh, well, we’ve got ID-iots in Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana, too. Can’t be helped. Maybe they’ll see the error of their ways and be touched by His Noodly Appendage.
