Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster If you haven't heard, there is a proposal before the Kansas School Board to give Intelligent Design (ID) theory equal time to Evolution in the state science curricula. The problem with this (at least, as I see it) is that ID theory uses the worst kind of ontological pseudo-science to justify its existence. (Not that I don't believe in the creation of the universe by a higher being of some sort, it's just I don't think ID theory properly falls under the umbrella of present-day science.) Anyhow, as a response to this, a guy in Oregon has drafted a letter to the Kansas School Board demanding that if ID theory gets time in state science classes, his theory (which is just as valid as ID theory) should get time as well. He believes that the universe was created by the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Bask in his noodly greatness!
