It all began in June 2005 when Bobby Henderson wrote an open letter
to the Kansas School Board proposing a third alternative to the
teaching of evolution and intelligent design in schools. Bobby is a
prophet of sorts, the spiritual leader of a growing, world-wide
group of followers who worship the teachings of The Flying
Spaghetti Monster (FSM). The FSM appeared to Bobby as a giant ball
of spaghetti, with meatballs for eyes, and touched Bobby with "His
noodly appendage" - resulting in the revelation that the FSM is the
real creator of the universe. The FSM faithful look to Bobby as
their prophet and spiritual leader. Shortly after Bobby's
revelation a website (www.flyingspaghettimonster.org) came into
existence to promote the word. Then came the articles, which were
worldwide: The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Guardian
(UK), Die Welt (Germany), Surprise (Austria), and many others
chimed in to report the existence of the FSM. Bobby received
letters of support from academics and Kansas School Board members
alike - not to mention a couple million hits per day on the website
- and it was all-too-clear that there needed to be a book to lay
out FSM scripture, rites and observances, proofs, and answers to
the Big Questions. This is that book.
CAN I GET A "RAMEN" FROM THE CONGREGATION?!
Behold the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM), today's
fastest growing carbohydrate-based religion. According to church
founder Bobby Henderson, the universe and all life within it were
created by a mystical and divine being: the Flying Spaghetti
Monster. What drives the FSM's devout followers, a.k.a.
Pastafarians? Some say it's the assuring touch from the FSM's
"noodly appendage." Then there are those who love the worship
service, which is conducted in pirate talk and attended by
congregants in dashing buccaneer garb. Still others are drawn to
the Church's flimsy moral standards, religious holidays every
Friday, or the fact that Pastafarian heaven is way cooler: Does
your heaven have a Stripper Factory and a Beer Volcano? Intelligent
Design has finally met its match-and it has nothing to do with apes
or the Olive Garden of Eden.
Within these pages, Bobby Henderson outlines the true facts-
dispelling such malicious myths as evolution ("only a theory"),
science ("only a lot of theories"), and whether we're really
descended from apes (fact: Humans share 95 percent of their DNA
with chimpanzees, but they share 99.9 percent with pirates!)
See what impressively credentialed top scientists have to say:
""If Intelligent Design is taught in schools, equal time should be
given to the FSM theory and the non-FSM theory.""
-Professor Douglas Shaw, Ph.D.
""Do not be hypocritical. Allow equal time for other alternative
'theories' like FSMism, which is by far the tastier choice.""
-J. Simon, Ph.D.
""In my scientific opinion, when comparing the two theories, FSM
theory seems to be more valid than classic ID theory.""
-Afshin Beheshti, Ph.D.
