Touched by His Noodly Appendage

My mom sent me a link to the New York Times story today.

As you may be aware, the Kansas Board of Education is poised to vote and pass a measure that would require theory of intelligent design to be taught along side the theory of evolution in Kansas public school classrooms. There are many different theories of intelligent design, however, and it would only be fair to give equal time to all of them.

Theories like the one discovered by Bobby Henderson who granted with a vision that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. In an open letter to the Kansas Board of Education posted on his website, venganza.org, Bobby lays out the tenets of the Flying Spaghetti Monster creation story, or Pastafarianism as it has come to be called. There is indisputable evidence that the Flying Spaghetti Monster created humans in his image (ever notice how the human brain looks like a big lump of spaghetti?), and an undeniable correlation between global warming and the worldwide decline in the number of pirates, the Flying Spaghetti Monster's chosen people.

With 10 million followers, the Flying Spaghetti Monster deserves just as much time in the classroom as any other intelligent design theory. It is important that the students of Kansas learn of the divine of power of His noodly appendage as they learn about all intelligent design theories. Spread the Good Word.
