The Flying Spaghetti Monster is the deity of a parody religion founded in 2005 by Oregon State University physics graduate Bobby Henderson to protest the decision by the Kansas State Board of Education to require the teaching of intelligent design, or creationism, as an alternative to biological evolution.
In an open letter on his website, Henderson professes belief in a supernatural Creator that resembles spaghetti and meatballs called the Flying Spaghetti Monster, and calls for Pastafarianism to be taught in science classrooms, essentially invoking a reductio ad absurdum argument against the teaching of intelligent design.
Followers of the Flying Spaghetti Monster call themselves Pastafarians, a portmanteau of pasta and Rastafarian.
Have you ever heard of Pastafarianism? No? Okay, have you ever heard of The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster? Think I'm joking? Think I might have made it up? The amazing thing is...NO! "Discovery News reports the finding of a fossil formed around a many-armed creature. Dating shows that this creature was in the area hundreds of millions of years before dinosaurs existed. The implications for Pastafarians are obvious: this is strong evidence that the FSM has been hanging around since time began, and created us all, including the dinosaurs. -- Official Site of The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster " What ...

If you do remember the last argument you had, are you familiar with these terms: “ Argumentum ad Ignorantiam ” and “ burden ...

Well, I've lived a good long time and I still don't understand people. There is a blog just a-full of atheistic science; it is called Cosmic Variance. Well, they just went and shot themselves down!! Just read : ------------------ But then I stumbled across the Flying Spaghetti Monster page at CreationWiki: The Encyclopedia of Creation Science . This is my new candidate for Funniest Page on the Internet. Marvel as they explain, with helpful charts and a compelling level of earnestness, why the FSM does not, in fact, deserve the same amount of respect as one should show to Creation Science.

This is long overdue! I can't believe I didn't post it earlier! The shame of it. Last month we of the Penn State Atheist/Agnostic Association raised over $500 for the Nobel-Prize-winning Doctors Without Borders . How? By reading aloud from sacred texts of course! We figured that people the world over need good medical care no matter who they are and no group does it better than Doctors Without Borders. Religious people regularly tout their charity and we want to give. So why not give us a good cause some money and pay an atheist to preach on your behalf? Maybe we'll convert someone ...

Transcript of today's show: When religious scholars gathered at the American Academy of Religion annual meeting this weekend, pasta was on the agenda. There to give talks was the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster , a satirical pseudo-religion bent on raising serious questions about science and religion. The Flying Spaghetti Monster first emerged in Kansas in 2005 to challenge the decision to teach intelligent design in the state's public schools. In protest of the "junk science" of ID, the group demanded equal time at the debate to present their theory that an omniscient creature made of pasta created the universe.
